 Girl gone wild . . .
College is supposed to be a time of discovery, but Danielle Vaughn never imaged it would be like this: heightened senses, supernatural powers, and a sudden craving for human blood. Dani is a demi-vamp, the daughter of a human psychic and a vampire noble, a living secret kept hidden for twenty-one ears.
As Dani’s heritage manifests itself, her thirst for blood is matched only by her hunger for Chase Diedrick. But as the son of the Vampire Council’s most powerful ruling family, Chase is already promised to another. Dani saw Council politics destroy her mother’s life; she won’t let the same thing happen to her. Besides, there’s no shortage of men who are eager to satisfy her every need, including the alluring vampire Kayden.
Unfortunately, Dani also has no shortage of enemies. Her heightened powers of telepathy and telekinesis attract the attention of a rogue vamp who preys on gifted vampires, absorbing their skills along with their lifeblood. Now, Dani must seek the Council’s help to quickly master her new vampire life . . . or risk losing it.

I was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland and now I live not far from my birth place in Perry
Hall, Maryland. I have two teenage daughters and a man that keep me busy when I'm not working full-time as a Certified Medical Coder. I'm an avid reader and I love all genre of romantic fiction from historical to contemporary to paranormal. Sleeping has always been a problem for me so most nights I can be found in the living room reading or writing instead of in bed like the rest of the world. I don't watch television. It's not a conscious decision, it just never occurs to me to turn it on when I have books to read and writing to do. It can actually be a hazard, because I never know what the weather will be until I look outside and I have to rely on my kids and coworkers for local and world news. I love creating the characters you love and love to hate. My characters remind me of people I know and people I wish I had never known.

♥~~Review + Giveaway~~♥ THE VIOLET HOUR by Whitney A, Miller

The voice inside me is breaking free. I can’t stop it. Some call VisionCrest the pinnacle of religious enlightenment. Others call it a powerful cult. For seventeen years, Harlow Wintergreen has called it her life. As the daughter of VisionCrest’s patriarch, Harlow is expected to be perfect at all times. She must be considered a paragon of integrity by the other Ministry teens and a future leader in the eyes of the world. Despite the constant scrutiny Harlow is keeping a dark and dangerous secret, even from her best friend and the boy she loves. She hears a voice in her head that seems to have a mind of its own, plaguing her with violent and bloody visions. It commands her to kill. And the urge to obey is getting harder and harder to control….

  

Whitney A. Miller lives in San Francisco with her husband and a struggling houseplant. She’s summited Mt. Kilimanjaro, ridden the Trans-Siberian rails, bicycled through Vietnam, done the splits on the Great Wall of China, and evaded the boat police in Venice, but her best international adventures take place on the page!

My Review

 
I first have to say that this book was not what I thought it was. When I started reading it, I thought this was going to be about a girl with an issue with voices in her head. But, as I continued to read, I found out I was sorely wrong! This book has a sci fi edge to it that I found refreshing. There was a little romance that I found to not be as bad as I thought. Not that romance is bad. It's just, when I think of a horror story, I don't think romance. 

This book is definitely YA. Again, not that there is anything wrong with that. I have read my share of YA books. The characters are easy to like and relate to and I like that the author helped by writing the book geared toward a YA audience. I like that the horror aspect wasn't too over the top and the "romance" portion was dubbed down for the genre.

There was a whole lot happening toward the end of the book that kept me reading. This book was a quick and easy read. I am back to reading my series reads but I was glad this isn't one. But, if it does turn into one, I will read book 2. Good book.
