Amber Lily is on a mission to find a cure for a friend who has been diagnosed with cancer and along the way she meets the man of her dreams, I mean literally the man of her dreams. Can she trust him? No. But Amber Lily follows her heart not her head and by doing so she ends up with the love of lifetime. You never know what is going to happen next so you are always on the edge of your seat. ( )

Eh. This book just didn't capture my interest. I don't even have any desire to seek out the rest of the books about this family of vampires. There were too many unknowns in this book--for instance, what exactly is the Child of Promise a promise for/of? Is she some mythical creature, or does she actually have a fate/destiny that the vampires know about? Why is she held in such reverence by the species? We don't find out the answers to any of those questions and more. The characters are flat and don't really grab you. The sex is unrealistic, though the romance aspects are somewhat true to life. I find myself not caring about any of the characters, not even the main characters. The only interesting one, and the only reason I'd read further into the series, is the Amber Lily's unborn child. Otherwise, there's nothing really to redeem this book for me.

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, though I'm sure that hardcore Shayne fans probably like it. ( )
