I like the one fanged vampire hook!!! With a descriptive writing style, Scott Prussing delivers a refreshing spin on vampire reads.
Leesa Nyland is a young and naive college student looking for her brother after he leaves her notice he is leaving and not to come look for him.
Despite her brother's request, Leesa sets out on a journey to find her brother, only to come face to face with entities she does not believe in or even know they exist. One valkaane and one vampire, lovi More...

At first, Breathless by Scott Prussing seemed to be like any other book in the YA Supernatural/Romance Genre and you cannot help but compare it to Twilight because of the vampire reference. But after reading the first chapters, it was clear that it was far beyond what we have come to expect from this genre.
This inexpectation makes Breathless a breath of fresh air and firmly stands on its own. Prussing presents an original and thrilling twist to vampire tales. He brings in a new kind of More...

Review brought to you by OBS staff member Autumn
Review:
Everyone knows I love a good vampire book. The Blue Fire Saga by Scott Prussing promises something new and original. It keeps this promise.
Leesa Nyland is far from your average heroine. Despite being born with a physical handicap, she is both unassumingly beautiful and independent. She decides to attend her brother’s university in New England, shortly after he mysteriously disappears. Her family had fled More...

This book is about Leesa and her journey to find out what happened to her brother, Bradley. It start out by telling the story of when her mother, Judy, was bitten by a “one-fanged vampire” while visiting her sister in Connecticut and pregnant with Leesa. After that, Judy became ill to the extent that she wouldn’t go in the sunlight because it would burn her skin. Judy’s husband eventually left her and the family. The story really starts out when Leesa is going to start college at Weston Col

Hi y'all Anne here I've just finished reading Breathless, I enjoyed this book. The first few chapters give you a well detailed view and introduction to all the characters that will play a main role in the book. The characters are beautifully flawed like real people they don't project a perfect life or life style. They truly are realistic with their struggles in life with a paranormal twist tossed in..

I found this to be an interesting read. I have read some mixed reviews, but I do not listen to what other people say; never have. I am uniquely my own, and a bit crazy. ;)
The biggest thing I can see with reviews is that ...people seem to put this with "Twilight". They say it's too much like it, a replica, etc. I do not see it that way at all. It seems to have a feel of its own, along with new elements. A werewolf did not pop up, l More...

I found Breathless by Scott Prussing to be very entertaining. According to Rene Fountain, “Breathless breathes new life into the vampire genre.” I didn’t believe it possible with all the vampire novels that have been published over the last few years. But you know what? Rene Fountain was right!

OK here it goes, the start was a little bit slow but not by any means enough to put the book down I still wanted to hear what was next. The story line was different and new and the vampires as well. I was excited that it was not all the same old vampire stuff I've read or even the love story in the book the same as most. Yes, there was an awesome love story for sure and I was excited to be a part of it, it made me happy and sad all at once. You will love it too! The book was for sure a page

I absolutely loved this book. I was hoping for something different than Twilight and I got exactly that. I love to read about vampires and such and I love to have different settings in a story. This book is about a normal girl facing problems throughout her life growing up and the love of her family is wonderful. As I was reading, this book made it all feel real and that this very well could happen in real life. It was not so far fetched that it was unbelievable. I really enjoyed the story and I

The book starts off with Lessa telling us how a new breed or unusual vampire has ruined her family. The book pulled me in and made me feel like I was right there and it was quite the ride. The characters in Breathless are easy to love and Scott makes it feel like you could know them. The love story is new the vampires are different and the plot has some twists I didn’t see coming. This is not your normal vampire story and I can’t wait to see where book 2 Deathless takes me.

Breathless was a riveting tale. The story is woven intricately with mystery, suspense and paranormal flavors. It starts with Leesa, who is leaving for college in Connecticut. Her main goal is to find her brother Bradley, who has mysteriously gone missing. In the process of investigating, Leesa finds that vampires are not the only thing running around her college. Her curiousity is not only fueled by her intense need to find her brother, but also by her own mother, who was once bitten by a

Ok. So I was skeptical about this book. A YA romance novel....by a dude?? :) However I was pleasently surprised that the romance spectrum was exactly the kind I like. Sweet and lots of it.
The book did start off with a lot of background and there was alot of descriptions in the book; clothes people were wearing, the characters surroundings, the way people looked.

I bought this book for my Kindle after ALL the rave reviews it got from networked book sites. Sad to say it was not all that it was hyped to be. It was so obvious that the author read Twilight, saw it was a money maker and tried to come up with an original storyline, but fell on his face. If he dropped the names of Edward and Bella, Twilight and Robert Pattinson in this story anymore, I think I might have thrown my Kindle at the wall. Even "Meet Me on the Equinox" by Death Cab for a Cu

Scott Prussing’s Breathless is a vampire romance novel that breaks out of the predisposed storyline that tends to follow the young vampire romance genre. Breathless, while appropriate for a young adult, will draw in readers of all ages. Prussing’s use of vivid visual details and captivating moving characters made it very easy for me to step into the story. All the characters are brilliantly built into the story and are impossible to forget. By the end of the story I was so emotionally connected

There was a lot of hype on facebook about this book so I went ahead and bought it. I really expected it to be better, but I did like it. I really liked the volkaane and grafhym creatures. I've never read vampire stories with these creatures before so this was very original and a nice change. But the plot was predictable and pretty straight forward. The dialogue was very simple too, which was a little annoying since the narrator's descriptions were so lovely. The romance was not very believable e

A little bit slow, not much happened until the last few chapters. Else a good story. I'm however sorry to say that the ending was a little bit disappointing.
This book has a bit shorter chapters then most other books I have read. This isn't entirely a bad thing but it makes the story feel more fragmented with lot of skips in place and time.
