Heirs to Darkisle by Cassandra Pierce is a great vampire story and if you're looking for one, get this ebook.We're introduced to Briana Dempsey and her brother Todd, brother and sister who grew up in Darkisle. Both of them are stuck in the town. Briana works at the family motel and Todd has become a drunk.
One night Todd and Ami, a girl he meets are trepassing at the old Morgan's house. Old Edgar Morgan has passed on so there shouldn't be any problems. Well guess what? It turns out his grandchildren have arrived, Sebastian and his sister, Ruby Morgan. Briana feels quilty for her brother's actions and want to make up for it. They come to an agreement and Todd will help repair the old house. She finds herself attracted to Sebastian. The two are drawn together and not before long, she finds out the truth. Sebastian and Ruby are vampires.
Just when everything seems to be going right for Briana something goes wrong and she starts to question the two vampires. Could she and her brother be in danger with Sebastian and Ruby in their lives?
I love that we didn't see the perfect vampire. Sebastian had his own issues to deal with. It's not easy coming back to your home, dealing with your grandchild, loving a human, and doing something brave enough that it will turn you weak and a mortal helps you.
The ending totally surprised me. I didn't even see it coming. I loved it though. I thought I had it figured out but nope, I was wrong.
This was the first book and I'm definitely looking forward to the next one. I hope it comes out soon.
Goodreads summary
Sebastian and Ruby Morgan arrived in the small seaside town of Darkisle, claiming to be the grandchildren of the reclusive Edgar Morgan, who recently died at the age of 108.
From the beginning, Briana Dempsey has her doubts the Morgans are who and what they claim to be. She is, however, certain of one thing. Sebastian Morgan unnerves her in ways she's never experienced before. His skin is cold, his eyes are hypnotic, and he seems to have no heartbeat. Yet all she can feel when she's with him is an all-consuming fire that fills her with desire.
When a local woman is murdered and Briana is implicated because of her involvement with the Morgans, she must confront the truth about the mysterious man she has fallen in love with. Is he the lover of her dreams, or the architect of her nightmare.

I'm about 100 pages into this...did you think that the murders happen a bit to late in the story? Or is that just me?
ReplyDeleteFor me, I thought where the killing was, was okay. She could have stuck the killing in earlier though too. For this story, it could have been in the middle or towards the ending. Does that make sense? I'm not with it today, lol.
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm glad you liked it. :)
ReplyDelete@robsad79-That makes sense! I'm 130 pages in, and he just told her he was a vampire.
ReplyDeleteLoved it!! :)
ReplyDeleteI wish it was a little longer, but hey we get a second book, hehe.
Too bad I can't do ebooks. This looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteHi, this is Cassandra. Glad you liked my book--I have a whole series planned so stay tuned!
ReplyDeleteCP - I can't wait for the next one :)
