High school senior, Chastity, is left in a human foster family with no memory of her past and never told about her roots in the psychically powerful Golden Clan, good-guy cousins to the vampires.
Sensitive about her looks and part of the out crowd, she’s compelled to find answers about who she really is. She starts by psychically traveling into the past to ask her human father, rescuing him from the brutal Tanzanian gangs.
Having learned to use her powers to reach her aunt, an elder in an alternate arctic universe, she discovers the Goldens want her to join them in meditation, a ritual that replenishes their psychic powers.
Chastity has other ideas. She’s got a crush on Zander the quarterback of her high school football team who, once he graduates, has his heart set on joining the Dacon Clan of real vampires. She wants to bond with him in the ancient Golden ways, but these uncivilized habits have become taboo. She has to practice the jump and bite, never having learned, first, how to kiss.
Comic-Con is fast approaching. The Dacon Clan’s Vampire Comic Booth is where Zander will be changed. If Chastity can get to him fast enough and learn how to use her small fangs to bond with him, she might be able to prevent him from losing his soul. But she needs lots of practice and who better to practice with than a Zander from a parallel universe of the future.

Another good book in the series. This book is about Chastity and her rebellion against the goldens by bonding with her love interest, Xander. There is a twist, however, that I was not expecting.
I got this book through a goodreads giveaway.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
didn't really enjoy the other three books in this series but this book love me bite me, i really enjoyed reading the romance between Chastity and Zander and chasity's emotions that she felt towards Zander but couldn't tell him. And how Zander became Dacon of the vampires and how Chastity had her special venom that could bind her and Zander lovers forever....Chastity has the special venom because she is a Golden. They're whole story as they come to love each other and understand and protect each other, i just loved the book from cover to cover.
If you like science fiction with a splash of romance, then you will enjoy this book. This is another book in the Legends of the Goldens series. The main character, Chastity, is a girl in an American high school who is trying to learn more about herself, being part Golden and part human, while also maneuvering adolescence, first love, and right from wrong.
This book is interesting in that it involves four types of characters that all have different types of powers, Goldens, Vampires, Humans, and Golden/Human hybrids. It was interesting getting to see how each species related to each other with regard to their capabilities, although at times it could also be a little confusing. Each new book has given the reader more information on the characteristics of those called the Goldens. They have so many fascinating abilities that haven't been in any other type of science fiction that I have ever read. If you enjoyed the Twilight series, then you will enjoy this series. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good romance along with the fun of science fiction.
I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I'm usually not a big fan of science fiction books, but this one was pretty good. The was of decent length and was written well. The book does have romance in it, but it doesn't overwhelm the story like a lot of romances do. It was a quick read. A book that I see many enjoying.
I received this as a first read. I liked this one. It is a good science fiction with just the right amount of romance. It is written well and is a fun easy read. I liked the different groups within this book. Would recommend this one looking for a easy quick fun science fiction read.
