Not bad for a quick free read!!

I think if this is one of the first books u hv read by Mayer, then u will really enjoy it. But this is the 4th or 5th and I'm starting to anticipate the pattern of speech, the cheesy lines, and too close to perfect protagonist. The story is told from three different views points:Tessa's, a young vampire with human traits, Jared, a human who gets captured while out with Tessa, & Cody, a male vampire who is best friends with Tessa's brother & suddenly bc of circumstances, sees Tessa as a growing young woman and likes it.
I have long since accepted the idea that many books are going to make vampires look perfect-ok, fine, but do they all hv to b perfect. I mean, Tessa's mom throws around  more "I'm proud of yous" than a monkey throws his own poop. They aren't even out of danger when we get the first, "wow, what a great kid u r! Gee, us parents are lucky!" Speech. Which I can handle that-even though my bitterness towards the Mother's praise might leave u wondering if I, myself, hv ever been praised by my own madre, but I digress!!! The Dad's flimsy and super one dimensional relationship with Tessa drives me crazy. In the beginning I really thought it was going somewhere! He points out that she is not a full vampire and he is disappointed in that! Yeah!! Real tension! Yeah! Real youth angst! Yeah rebellion!! But nope! Pretty soon she is standing up to her dad and then their bond is stronger than ever....I'm gonna take a guess here, but a cemeteries old vampire who runs one of the Vampire's Councils isn't going to let his 16 yea old half vamp daughter call him out and talk smack to him in front of everyone especially!! He would take her down and shut her up quick!! Instead he allows himself to be laughed at in front of others, and once again, I hv no padra probs, I'm not working out any issues, just pointed out the obvious!
Ok, now that I've bashed this Vampire Coming of Age book, let me tell u what I do like!!! I like the main character! She's spunky and fun! I see a lot of potential in her. I also like this new love triangle thing that's about to go on, I also like where the plot is going! It's going to make air some interesting ideas and options.
Needless to say, I like flawed characters-relatable and if relationships are
 going to go trough difficult times-then do it!!!!!! But I am still interested in seeing where this goes! I trust Mayer to make it an interesting read even if not the most creative! It's a good read for free!!

At .99 cents, you can't really complain about much in a book.  This novella was really short, but managed to keep a decent pace, and didn't have any filler.  That said, there also wasn't much complexity to the characters, and the relationships developed so fast it was a little hard to believe. The plot was pretty solid, but basic, and the ending left something to be desired, but all around still a decent story if you are looking for something quick to read. There were some grammatical errors that were a bit distracting, but nothing so bad that it ruined the book. Not a bad choice if you are looking for something quick and easy to read that won't leave you hanging. The author does have potential, but needs a longer and more complicated story to really show it.

This is a great quick erotica read. I finished it within half an hour. It's not bad though. You get a quick plot some info on the characters even a short look into the future for the couple. Definitely Erotic! Don't read in public! Lol

If you have an afternoon to spare, this is a quick fun read. I did not like the predictable character assignments but the book was good.

I read the review and liked the idea behind the story (some what). I wasn't sold entirely in this being one of those silly romances but since it was cheap and I needed to read something light and fluffy after the heavy book I'd just read I bought it.

I didn't mind the book and read the whole thing in one sitting. I was a little thrown on a few things like the big age gap between the two main characters (it felt a little too large), some things seemed a little convenient but that is the nature of a short cheap book isn't it!

If you want something that you don't need to use a lot of brain power on and something to escape with, this is a good book. Reading on a Kindle meant no one else would know this book lives in my collection too!

Enjoyable, quick read with likeable characters ... but not addictive. I may look for more books in this series at the library, or on Kindle if they are free.

This book was entertaining enough but I was not blown over by it. I read it for free through kindle unlimited. It was fine for a free book, but I would not have paid to read it.

I enjoyed this short story, it filled up my Saturday for the most part.  There are a few typos but not all that many.
This story has some twists and turns and action, and romance, with sex.
Good cast of characters.  What I call a page turner!

I recommend it...  if your looking for a short mystery this one hits the mark!
Happy reading Ya'll............

For a freebie it was a pleasant read but I did find it hard to connect with any of the characters. Bobbie just transformed herself to this new confident women with it seems no affect of her broken marriage. But I found it an easy read without too much thinking.. and it was free!!!

Decent read but short. Dane finally comes home t o surrender and the first person he sees is his lost love Charlotte. Within minutes of seeing each other they have sex on the office table after Charlotte throws a wrench at Dane. She goes home leaving him with ride into town. Dane gets a ride from brother who takes him to a bar where Dane finds out his a father. Off he goes after Charlotte the hatch out their issues in the mist of having sex. The end.

Everything happens within a few hours when you see conflict and resolution. I guess for the price is ok. Meaning that it was free. Also, just so you know there are only 6 chapters to this short story.

This was a good little story.  I didn't realize that the story was less than 75% of the book though.  I read it in just a couple of hours.  That said, the story was something that held my interest and was a little bit of an escape.  Even short entertainment is fun.  :)

Good for a quick read. Wasn't predictable, which is a nice change from most books today. Three out of five stars

I liked the quick development of the characters, but it was also it's downfall. However, it was a pretty good for a short read. I liked it enough to question the characters' next possible moves in their situation. I enjoyed it.
