About this ebook

 If there
is one thing eighteen-year-old Aurora Sky wants, it's to get off the iceberg
she calls home. Being kissed before she graduates wouldn't hurt either.

Then a
near-fatal car wreck changes everything. Government agents step in and save
Aurora's life in exchange for her services as a vampire hunter. In Alaska.
Basically she's a glorified chew toy. All thanks to her rare blood type, which
sends a vampire into temporary paralysis right before she has to finish the
job... by hand.

 

Now
Aurora's only friends are groupies of the undead and the only boy she can think
about may very well be a vampire.

Ratings and reviews

So, if you can get past the formatting issues on smaller devices (or get the book on the kindle app, also free) this is a great read. Aurora Sky has died and come back, rescued by the government to become a vampire hunter. Now she owes them. Her future is no longer hers to control, she has to let vampires bite her so her blood can incapacitate them to make killing them easier and her old friends want nothing to do with her. In this story, Aurora is in a downward spiral emotionally as she comes to terms with her new circumstances. She's lashing out any way she can think of and doing some pretty stupid things in the process. All in all, this is a fun read, but there's a lot of zooming and scrolling needed to get through the book due to bad formatting, which is the only reason I gave it three stars instead of five. I almost gave up on it right away. I promised myself a chapter and was hooked.

A little uneven at first. It reads like Young Adult written by a young adult: simplistic writing style, characters that are more perfect, plastic dolls than real people, the short cut of a first person narrative. But it's what people ask of these types of novels. Pulp and easy-to-digest fun, and it does succeed in that regard. An adequate distraction.

Can't format the script for easier reading and if I zoom in I have to scroll the screen around to see all the text its annoying as it doesn't fit to size. Story campy bland and childish
