The O'Rielly sisters Darby & Rowan live in a small town were they have lived all of their lives. They live in the house that was inherited to them when their parents died a few years ago. They are from a long line of witches. The girls have never practiced their gift but, they do carry their family book with them. Darby owns a book store and all though the sister's live together they hardly ever see each other mainly because Rowan finds it a bit hard to keep appointments. She makes plans to meet up with Darby at a local bar but, she never makes it. Rowan is more like the wild child and Darby always keeps her ground and tries very hard to keep her sister grounded but, its kinda hard for her. They get along very well and they love each other no matter what.

Darby meets Devon who somehow moved right next door to the girls without her even noticing it. Devon is tall and very handsome and has these eyes that can make you melt. Devon is at Paddy's the local pub that Rowan and Darby are suppose to meet at. Darby is waiting for Rowan like usual but, she does not show instead Darby has a deep conversation with Devon. They talk about things they have not really shared with anyone else. You could say it was love at first sight for them. Devon was head over heals for Darby as soon as he saw her. Devon also has a younger brother named Blake. Blake is taller than Devon and he is just like Rowan Darby's sister...a little on the wild side. These two brothers are not just handsome but, they are born vampires of royal blood.

Rowan never meet up with her sister at the pub because she has also found someone she connected with from the start. When it was time to meet each others new mates they realized they were each involved with each others sibling which was cool because they did not have to hid there "family secret" from each other as a matter of fact it brought them closer and they were able to experience things together and help each other out at the same time. The O'Rielly sister's and the Bloomington brothers are great/perfect matches for each other.

Terrence Paine is out on the hunt for the brothers (Devon & Blake) he killed their parents when the boys were younger because the boys father did not save Mr. Paine's son. Terrence vowed that he will kill the boys just as he did their parents. He sent a Van Helsing "type" kill the brothers. When Darby faces herself with this situation and Devon at her feet hurt something happens to her that has never happened before. She builds some kind of force that protects herself and Devon but, send the Van Helsing look alike flying he hits a tree and is killed by this impact. After this they start working on helping Darby with her powers and start a plan to get back at Terrence Paine. While trying to set their plan against Terrence Paine Rowan is kidnapped by another one of Terrence's men. They take her to him and Terrence then injects her with werewolf blood (thinking she is a vampire) he assumes that both bloods will fight against each other in side her body and she will die. The only thing is that Rowan is not a vampire she is a witch and by injecting her with the werewolf blood it just turns her into a werewolf. Blake is scared of what Rowan has become only because he is not correctly informed of the werewolf line just as people are not fully informed of the vampire life. If you would like to know more you must read Blood of a Werewolf!

Book 1 of 4 is amazing! I could only imagine how the others will be.

I loved this book. It grabbed me from the first page. Darby is a strong lead character that takes charge in helping protect Devon and Blake. She and her sister, Rowen, go through many self discoveries and have to deal with life changing issues. This book leaves me wanting more. I'm on to the second in the series. T. Lynne Tolles created a wonderful series with engaging characters. I look forward to seeing how the characters adapt and where their next journey will take them. Highly recommended re ...more
