My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jessica was raised by parents whose expectations she could never meet. In an attempt to avoid them and their perfectionist demands, she lies to them about her summer plans and ends roommates with Riley, bad boy extraordinaire. But as Jessica gets deeper involved in Riley's world, she discovers that you can't judge a book by its cover.

I liked this book much better than the first in the series. Jessica was actually a lot of fun. Raised with designer clothes and never wanting for anything, she had a don't-mess-with-me attitude and was not afraid to use it, but deep down she just wanted to be accepted for herself. She wanted people to look at her and see her, not who they thought she should be. Riley was much more than I was expecting. We only got a small glimpse of him in True, but he was a true surprise, in a good way. His only concern was taking care of his brothers, and everything else could go to hell.

One of the most endearing things about this book was the slow buildup to the romance between Jessica and Riley. There was instant attraction, but it was not acted on right away. And the back-and-forth between the two of them was hilarious.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The vampires of New England have always had an undetected existence among humans but with the unprovoked death of one of their own, the lust for revenge has begun. Celia's concerns are magnified when a hunter from Dallas arrives in town. With Jay's sexy smile and rugged ways, Celia finds herself wanting to spend time with him despite being mysteriously linked to the nest that is threatening to become extinct if Jay gets his way. When four bodies are found drained of blood; Jay teams up with a local bunch to take out all the undead which coincidentally, includes her boyfriend Victor. Celia won't stand seeing anything happen to Victor but refuses to hurt Jay as well. Confusion, lust, rage and violence intertwine as worlds collide. Celia will soon discover that her neat little existence is not what it seems as he...
