Falling in love…. vampire style.

Book two in the Vampires of Marchood series begins where the first book in the series, Hidden leaves off. Madison (Maddie) and Alexandre (Alex) are in love. They are perfect for each other except that Maddie is human and Alexandre is a vampire.

This book introduces readers with a new character – Aelia who was a young woman in 571AD. She was cast out from her village and left to make it on her own.

In the present, Maddie and Alex happily lives in the English countryside and think nothing can burst their perfect bubble until the past comes calling with a vengeance. Maddie is taken away deep into the caves in Cappadocia. Alex and his family spring into action and go searching for her, but will they make it in time?

Past and present collide in book two which kept me turning the pages and wanting to know what happens next. I was instantly drawn into Aelia’s plot in the past. It was gripping, engaging and tense. I knew at some point her story would fit into the current storyline, but I had no idea how or why.

Boland continues to impress me with her Vampires of Marchwood series. This is a YA paranormal romance book that readers of all ages can enjoy.

Now that I am finished with book two, I can’t wait to see what happens in book three!
