Centuries ago ten powerful vampire gods first walked the earth; their blood thirst knew no boundaries. The destruction of mankind was inevitable. Recognizing their weakness, they selected twelve wise human beings to transform with their godly blood. These twelve, known as The Old Ones and The Council, govern The Ten. A blood lottery appeasing The Ten’s hunger was set forth into the human world and passed down every fifth generation, continuing into the present day.

All of Beth Ryan’s life a mysterious mist watched over her, a mist she believed to be a vampire. On a cold winter night, she comes face to face with Philippe Delon, a 700 year old vampire with a human soul. Beth is certain Philippe is the vampire behind the mist. She is drawn to him, accepting his immortality without question or fear.

Beth and Philippe cannot deny their love for each other, nor do they try to fight it. Within days of their encounter, Beth accepts Philippe’s invitation to move into his mansion. The mansion unlocks the door to the vampire world and exposes secrets from Beth’s past. Within its walls, she learns the true identity of the mist, her link to the blood lottery, and betrayal of her loved ones. Surrounded by lies, Beth stands before The Council begging for resolution.

When I started reading this I wasn't very sure of what was going on. We know there's this girl who's been living her whole life with some kind of mist who comes visit her in her room. Then she spends years dating her childhood friend and, suddenly, the guy who's supposed to be the mist shows himself and asks her to move in with him immediately. And she says yes.

Not only does she say yes, but she doesn't even take her stuff with her. I mean, girl, don't mean to be a party pooper, but people do break up sometimes. How can you move in with a guy you barely know and just leave your belongings at your old apartment because "he's got a house full of stuff"? Be realistic, girl.

Then they are completely in love with each other and Beth starts turning into some kind of half-vampire from receiving Philippe's blood... because vampires ejaculate blood.

And by the way, haven't we had enough of those "always use a condom" lessons?? Wear your condoms, people.

But that didn't really surprise me, Beth proved to be very immature and not too bright during the whole book. Just leave it to her to make the worst decisions possible, she doesn't even stop to think about any consequences her actions could lead to.

This was also so full of contradictions that I found myself lost more than once. And everything happens way too fast.

But I'll admit that the story about how vampires were born was really cool and original. I do enjoy mythology a lot, so seeing that and vampires put together was very nice.

Have you read this? Any vampire stories you'd recommend?

Thank you for reading! Bye-Bye! ♥
