Storyline: not well thought out
I thought the way Candra came to her conclusions were not complete. Hope the second book is a better read.

Everything was so crammed in & rushed, I couldn't connect with the characters at all.

DNF at 32 pages. It's boring and bland. It's 145 pages. By page 32, I should be absolutely immersed in the story, not completely put off

A new vampire town, excellent read.
When Candra Rosewood returns from Europe following the untimely death of her parents she soon discovers that their accidental deaths may not have been accidental after all. A stranger is watching her who is revealed to be a friend of her parents who, he insists was tasked by her parents to watch over her.
Did her parents see their deaths coming? Is Kane really who he says he is? And who is the creepy neighbour in the nearby house?
The author sets the scene perfectly for a story of a family of vampires stretching far back in time, as Candra finds herself fighting for her very existence aided by the mysterious Kane. Can she survive against those who seek to take her into the cold, dark world of the undead? No spoilers from me, you really must read this story for yourself, but I will just say that I am looking forward to reading more about the adventures of Candra and Kane. Definitely a five star read.

Birthright♥🔥❤Amazing!! Book!!
I loved Kane Smith and Candra Rosewood Vampire story.
Loved that the Author gave us a brief history of how Kane became a vampire. The thought process of her parents to trust him as her protector . Kane Marks her as his mate .The list is long on the revenge part as they pioneer into book two. At least we know a lot of Rosewood family members are on that list. And one is dead thanks to Kane. And plus he also killed Timothy I loved his declaration in the book when he stated she was his soulmate❤🔥♥.

Painful to finish
I only finished this book because I didn’t want another one in my DNF list. I figured it was short enough I could muddle through. If this book was edited it was done very poorly. The plot had promise in the beginning but was not executed well and a lot of times the diction felt forced, like the author was trying to sound smart but it didn’t flow well at all.

Avoid
I read a lot of books and this is bad, I thought maybe AI, both the writing and the plot, unrealistic, even for a vamp book, gave up after 77 pages, after two vampires looked at each other and the house blew up into small pieces...
