This is the first book in the Argeneau Vampire series. Right now there are 28 books in the Argeneau Vampire series. This was a pretty typical vampire paranormal romance. It was okay but the plot was really thin.

I listened to this on audiobook and didn't like the narrator much. The narrator sounded like a breathy public service announcer and was distracting and hard to listen to.

There were some things I enjoyed about this book that set it apart from other paranormal romances. I loved the explanation about the nanos that make these âvampireâ immortals; there was some fascinating history here and it was an interesting concept. I also enjoyed the tight and caring relationships between Lissianna and her family. I liked how Lissi is a kind and caring, yet capable, heroine.

There were a number of things I thought were lacking as well. I just never really felt the chemistry between Lissi and Greg; the relationship felt a bit dry to me. I also struggled with the lack of any plot (aside from Greg finding out about vampires). Sands does try to throw in a bit of a life or death scenario towards the end of the book but this was kind of just thrown in there and felt contrived.

Overall this was an okay PNR book but I wasn't all the impressed. There are some unique elements to this series but they weren't enough to offset the lack of any plot and the vanilla feel of the novel.
