Series: A Shade of Vampire
Book One: A Shade of Vampire
Synopsis:
On the evening of Sofia Claremont's 17th birthday, she is sucked into a nightmare from which she cannot wake.
A quiet evening walk along a beach brings her face to face with a dangerous pale creature that craves much more than her blood.
She is kidnapped to an island where the sun is eternally forbidden to shine.
An island uncharted by any map and ruled by the most powerful vampire coven on the planet. She wakes here as a slave, a captive in chains.
Sofia's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn when she is the one selected out of hundreds of girls to join the harem of Derek Novak, the dark royal Prince.
Despite his addiction to power and obsessive thirst for her blood, Sofia soon realizes that the safest place on the island is within his quarters, and she must do all within her power to win him over if she is to survive even one more night.
Will she succeed? ...or is she destined to the same fate that all other girls have met at the hands of the Novaks?

Review:
Vampires have been done to death it seems, but this story was very unique and captured me from the first chapter. A perfect mix of mystery, sex appeal, romance, and fantasy. Definitely a book series that you will be able to read over and over again.

Now, after months of surviving an endless night, the morning sun may soon rise again for Sofia. Something has possessed Derek's heart and he offers her a gift no human slave has ever been given in the history of his cursed island: escape.
High school, prom and a chance to move on with her life now await her.

Review:
A great sequel to the first book A Shade of Vampire. Begins right where the first one left off without missing a beat. Continues on for a great story about a vampire being able to fall in love with a human. So much so that he is willing to risk his position to set her free. I love how this romance is blossoming and excited to see where it will go.
Book Three: A Castle of Sand
Synopsis:
What Sofia has with Derek feels like a sandcastle; temporary and something that the waves of life and time will soon ruin...
Since the return of Gregor Novak, the island has turned several shades darker. His hatred toward Sofia and thirst for fresh blood lead to a brutal war igniting between father and son.
Meanwhile, the hunters are gaining formidable strength and resources by the day; they know that the safety of The Shade hangs entirely on its ability to remain hidden from them.
And a sinister secret lies in wait for Sofia within the bowels of an Egyptian desert ... a secret that threatens to crush her sandcastle much sooner than she could have expected.

Review:
Love how many twists and turns there are in this book. It keeps you guessing what will happen next. Can love prevail in a world that is surrounded by darkness? You are becoming so attached to the characters that you just want the best for them except for those evil ones that you wish would meet the Sun and burn to ash. :) Keep up the amazing work Bella Forrest. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Book Four: A Shadow of Light
Synopsis:
Since the implosion at The Oasis and Derek's stay at Hawk Headquarters, The Shade has fallen into a state of utter chaos. To make matters worse, the citizens of Derek's kingdom have become suspicious of his loyalties and accuse him of siding with the enemy... At a time when Derek desperately needs full cooperation from his subjects, they wish to put their own King on trial.
Meanwhile, Sofia is being held hostage by the hunters. They are determined to rid her of her infatuation with the vampire. She submits to the strict routine and training they impose on her, but the only fuel that keeps her going is the thought of reuniting with Derek - something Reuben is fighting with every fiber of his being to ensure will never happen.
...Until one day, out of the blue, Reuben appears to have a change of heart and comes to Sofia with a proposal; a solution that she never dreamed possible. A solution that would fulfil her heart's deepest desires and secure her and Derek's future together, forever.

Like the other three books in this series, I was not able to put it down until I reached the last page. It was a complete page turner. I was so excited to find out what was going to happen next. It is such a great story and you can really relate to the characters.
