19. The Rest Falls Away - Colleen Gleason



In every generation, a Gardella is called to accept the family legacy of vampire slaying, and this time, Victoria Gardella Grantworth is chosen, on the eve of her debut, to carry the stake. But as she moves between the crush of ballrooms and dangerous, moonlit streets, Victoria's heart is torn between London's most eligible bachelor, the Marquess of Rockley, and her enigmatic ally, Sebastian Vioget. And when she comes face to face with the most powerful vampire in history, Victoria must ultimately make the choice between duty and love.



It seems lately I have become a vampire romance obsessee. I don't know why, I'm not a big vampire fan, but ever since I've read the Twilight series, I can't seem to get enough. This was quite a bit different than Twilight, the vampires in this book are like the vampires you've always read about, thirsting for human blood. I liked how they have an organization whose sole purpose is to kill vampires and the history behind the organization. And although Victoria's life doesn't really make room for love, the men in her life certainly challenge that! As of now, I'm rooting for Max, although he hasn't really shown any interest in Victoria that way. I am way excited to read the next book in the series!



Rating: 4.25/5

Go Max! Or Sebastian. At this point I honestly don't know who I want Victoria to end up with. I think Max has a slight lead over Sebastian right now. I've always been partial to Max...

Anyway, I can't wait for you to read book 3 -- and then tell me who you are rooting for!!
