My rating: 5 of 5 stars

ARC provided via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have two words to describe this book...powerful and insightful. It is a quick read, but one that will stay with you long after you put it down. Jeanne Bishopchronicles her struggle with the death of her sister and her killer in Change of Heart: Justice, Mercy, and Making Peace with My Sister's Killer. Jeanne describes, in gut-wrenching detail, her sister's murder, the trial, and the impact it had on her family. This is the story of love, loss, anger, faith, but most of all forgiveness. One of my favorite quotes is "We can't determine the response of the one we are forgiving. We can only say to him, "What you did was unspeakable. You have left a hole in my heart that can never be filled. Yet, I forgive you.' He might choose to accept that forgiveness or to reject it. The bottom line here is not success; the bottom line is faithfulness." What an emotional read! Truly inspirational!

Witnessing a brutal murder at work is only the beginning of Celia's problems. The fact that the victim is a vampire only proves to complicate her life even more. 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...
