Synopsis:

Sixteen-year-old ghost hunter, Emma Hoffman thought that moving into an old Victorian was going to be awesome– ghosts galore.

Much to her delight, she discovers that the house is haunted—not by a ghost, but by a construct (a spirit created to be a servant). As she gets to know Marcus, the construct, he asks her to help him avenge his maker and find her killer. Emma’s not too sure this is a good idea, she’s a ghost hunter after all, not a detective, but she agrees to help him anyway.

While trying to discover more information about the killer, Emma begins to have feelings for Marcus- feelings she isn’t ready to admit. Then the sorcerer who killed Marcus’s maker shows up at Emma’s house with an insane plan to capture Marcus and absorb his power- Emma isn’t having it. Marcus is hers.

When the killer performs a spell that begins to steal Marcus’s life force, Emma risks losing him. It’s a race against time for Emma to figure out how to stop the sorcerer and his spell before Marcus fades away and disappears from her life forever.


My Review:

"It's about ghosts!" is exactly what I screamed when I began reading this novel. It was about so much more! It was exactly what I expected from this author. The beginning pulled you in, the plot lead you through the story and the characters were believable and well rounded. I loved this book. The author did an awesome job of grabbing the audience with her correct and loveable teen main character. I felt a part of the story and was very happy with what she planned. I could almost come up with what was going to happen next, almost but not quite. I loved that aspect of it because it kept me guessing.

Synopsis:

If Mathias thought being homeless sucked, being a vampire is worse. The vampires who transformed him believe he is the reincarnation of an ancient king. They expect him to quit swearing, use a napkin, and play by their weird,
ancient rules. Screw that.

But after the reigning queen assaults Mathias, he has visions of a past life in which he was that king. Turns out the current queen killed him then, and wants to kill him again. He’d better grow up fast, because if he doesn’t his second life may be shorter than his first.


 My review:  I enjoyed meeting Mathias and watching him grow. I loved the other characters and their huge differences. I even loved the villain in this book. Over all the characters were well rounded and the plot was pretty good too. I loved the lead up and found it hard to put down once I got started. (Which angered my family as I was not able to go to bed until I finished it at about 7 O'clock in the morning lol). I would recommend this book to those that like vampire novels. It met my expectation of a good read and exceeded it in a few instance but you have to buy the book to understand.
