In the distant future, the Earth as we know it is no more. The planet now has three races: human, vampire, and væmpire. A væmpire is a vampire that has undergone mutations to make it stronger, faster, and in some cases, have special skills that normal vampires do not. Vampires have learned to live peacefully with humans and do not feed on them, but they have also alienated the mutant race of væmpires.

On the day of young vampire Princess Cassandra's birthday, they decide to stage a revolution.

Cassandra's boyfriend Daniel is out in the city when chaos strikes, and instead of going to the palace for a party, he learns nearly everyone he loves has been slaughtered, making him interim king. Over the course of a night, the 15 year old must decide whether to help save what is left of his people, or try to rescue their future queen. The night plays out in ways no one expects.

This book was one crazy thrill ride, and I loved every minute of it. You are thrust right into the action from the very first page, and it never lets go, escalating to a bloody crescendo that left me with one hell of a cliffhanger!

Daniel is so kickass. Any other hero would race straight to his woman, giving no thought to who else might need help. But he somehow manages to consider others, even while dealing with unimaginable grief and with no knowledge of what Cassandra might be in the midst of. He was an awesome character, and he wasn't too proud to get a little help when he knew he was outnumbered ;)

That doesn't mean Cassandra was a wimpy princess, at all. She is smart, and a fighter all the way through. She stays royal and dignified throughout her ordeal. The moments she and Daniel have together are heart melting, and I am rooting for them so hard.

The action...oh WOW. Let's just say it's not for the faint of heart. These are no romantic, dashing vampires and zombies. There's tons of killing, blood and gore. Don't read this book if you don't like graphic descriptions of violence. But if that is your thing, this book definitely delivers :)

Væmpires: Revolution was an amazing read, and even though I'm frustrated with the cliffhanger (GRRRR), I'll definitely be reading the next book!
