I had such high expectations for this series since I’ve always enjoyed Kailin’s other novels but somehow this book didn’t live up to my expectations. It wasn’t what I had expected – I had expected something grander since this was basically a novel about the daughters of Dracula. I mean, it’s Dracula! What couldn’t be more exciting than that? But alas, this series was not so.
Sadie, the younger sister, was the quiet and docile one. She was the one who always listened to her parents and her authorities and rarely strayed. She was also the one whom both guys fell in love with: the vampire who changed her and the vampire hunter who was meant to kill her. However, I found her so incredibly annoying. She kept going back and forth between the two guys. She clearly did not know what she wanted. I honestly just wanted to punch her in the face and then stake her myself because she was that irritating. I hate people who are all sweet and whatnot but are dumb as shit. That was basically her. She was so naïve and innocent to the point that it physically hurt me to read more about her.
Alexis, the other sister, was the wild one. While she certainly brought more life into the book with her antics, she was also stupid and naïve but thankfully, not to Sadie’s level. At least Alexis learned fast and understood when things were not going as planned and adapted. I was reading some other reviews and I read someone describing them as two halves and if they are combined, they would be one great person but separate, they are incomplete. In a way, I completely agree but since both of them are naïve and relatively dumb, combining them together would not fix that unfortunately. However, if they were combined, at least it would be infinitely better than them being separated.
The two males: Keegan and Lord Arshwin were both very very different. One was protective and loving while the other was older and was a vampire. They both loved Sadie but somehow neither of them could take their eyes off Alexis. What was up with that? It was as if all of the characters in the book didn’t know what they wanted. Everyone just kept sliding back and forth between either the two males or the two sisters. They just need to make up their goddamn minds. It was quite irritating if you couldn’t tell from my somewhat rant.
After the first book, I thought maybe I’ll give the second book a try since I already had it on hand. Unfortunately the second book fared no better than the first but at least I pushed on through to the end. And that was where I called it quits. I have no interest in reading the third book because this whole plot and the bland and retarded characters were so terrible that I have no interest whatsoever to look for the third book.
I forgot to mention the plot – it was terrible. Because both Sadie and Alexis were stupid, they both got caught in so many obstacles and situations where they could have easily avoided if they were smarter. But no, that was not the case. Clearly this book was not for me. Honestly though I’m surprised I disliked it so much. I usually like Kailin’s novels and I love to read about vampires and the supernatural but this series just did not do it for me. I’m disappointed.
Overall, if you’re willing to overlook Sadie’s nauseating sweetness and innocence and Alexis’ wildness and naughtiness, perhaps you should give this book a try. Otherwise, steer clear.
Also, I'm not giving it a 1 star only because I KNOW there are worse books out there.

This book really isn't missing anything!! It continues right off from where the last one ended and moves right on into more action. The sisters are as different as they have ever been but now feel that they have a little more in common than originally believed.
The romance is as twisted and intense as in the last book, if not more and I love every single moment of it. There is now two guys in the picture but really there always has been hasn't there? Each guy has his appeal but their intentions are completely different. Both sisters feel strongly for both of the guys and sometimes it's hard to decide what one I like more. Sometimes I am not sure who to trust to be honest.
Sadie is just as sweet and naieve as ever but there is more to her. With two guys in the picture and both seemingly reaching for her she will have to make a choice between the two. That is about where my only minor issue. Sadie's weakness and strength is her kind heart but it is easily swayed. It seemed that only seeing the guy made her connection stronger and forget about the other. In moments where she did think of the one she felt she truly wanted I felt like she justified it by being actually physically with the other one. However her emotions are very human and I know I would be torn between the guys myself so who am I to talk.
Alexis is changing. She is still her strong, sexual self in many ways but she has a little more doubt in this book it seems. So much seems to be going on and even someone as strong as her is bound to break. Both of the guys she loves seem to be more pulling toward her sister and for someone that always gets the guy it's not easy to watch. Despite everything I believe that she would do anything for Sadie and I actually grew closer to Alexis in this book.
This novel was fast paced and I could not get enough of it. The characters are interesting and the story is original, what more could you want. From start to finish the book just drew me in. Kailin has a way of drawing you in and absorbing you right into the story. This one was no exception. If you are a lover of Vampires and want something a little different this series is for you!

I love the Stoker sisters. I am intrigued with the whole plot about the girls being the descents of Dracula. In this series, Dracula was a beloved warrior and leader who cared deeply for humans. Although the fight between good and evil vampires is an old concept, the battle in this series develops through the three ancients Dracula creates. Control of the Stoker sisters is the ultimate prize for the victor of the vampire battle. I am fascinated with Dracula's and the girl's stories but Sadie's gullibility and Alexis's jealousy becomes monotonous. Gow ended the book with another cliffhanger and now I can't wait until February to find out what happens.
