Knowledge changes everything…
Hoodoo-influenced Southern Louisiana seems like the perfect place for Camille to relocate and escape her abusive past. She didn’t expect to fall in love and plummet herself into the world of Amaranth, a place of exile for reformed vampires.

Thanks to her deadly vampire ex-boyfriend, she’s confronted with decisions that not only threaten her life but the lives of her inhuman friends that she has come to love. Entangled in her friends’ quest for freedom, she dives into their realm and faces the threats of the ruler of Amaranth—the mother of all vampires—and her own inner demons.
Will she derail her life and make the ultimate sacrifice for the very monsters that interrupted her bumpy path back to sanity—the one she wanted so desperately in the first place? Or will she find a way to escape with her vampire love before it’s too late?

When I first started this book, I knew immediately that I shouldn’t plan anything for the rest of my day. I was hooked! Camille is a woman after my own heart. Besides being an emotional wreck, she is incredibly smart and stronger than she realizes. Rachael did an amazing job with the characters. In my mind, Camille was real, She has real problems, real insecurities. Who can’t relate to that? Then there is Gavin. YUM!  From the beginning, I could tell that his feelings for Camille were genuine and he felt real love for Camille.
 
I absolutely loved the vampire angle in this story. There are so many vampire stories out there, but Rachael did a wonderful job building a beautiful world around her characters! This book makes me want to visit Amaranth and see it for myself!

I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book!
