Review of Anathema by K.A. Tucker

Overview by B & N

Evangeline has spent her teenage years in obscurity. Her foster parents have the emotional aptitude of robots and her classmates barely acknowledge her existence. About to turn eighteen and feeling like a social pariah, she is desperate to connect with someone. Anyone.

When Evangeline meets Sofie after literally stumbling upon her café, she believes she’s found that connection. Willing to do anything to keep it, she accepts a job as Sofie’s assistant and drops everything to fly to Manhattan, where she is thrust into a luxurious world of Prada, diamonds, and limitless cash.

With such generosity and kindness, it’s easy for Evangeline to dismiss certain oddities . . . like Sofie’s erratic and sometimes violent behavior, and the monstrous guard dogs. She’s even willing to dismiss her vivid dreams of mob-style murders, beautiful homeless people living in caves, and white-eyed demons that haunt her each night as figments of her imagination—especially when one of those figments is the gorgeous Caden. When she wakes up with bite marks on her neck, the fairy tale quickly turns into a nightmare. She slowly unravels the mystery surrounding Sofie and friends, and the reality of the bites and the “dreams.” What she discovers is far more mysterious and terrible than anything she could have imagined.

In a world where everyone has motive to lie for personal gain, Evangeline must decide which deception is least likely to get her killed.

Review by the Bookworm

Hey, this is a slightly unique outlook on vampires.  No they don't glitter, no they aren't particularly romantic...not really.  Two vampires in love with a human girl who is frozen in time inside of a statue of herself.  Yep.  You just read that right.

Now, how is Evangeline tied into this mess.  Well that would be the fault of her oh-so-not-fairy vampiremother. 

I won't go into much because the overview does that for you.  It is an enjoyable fast read that leaves you wishing that for just once a book would end instead of having another book to wait for.  Although it is available if you want to pay for it.  I give it a thumbs up.

Loves!
