My Maker's Keeper by Tiffany Current

At first glance, this book starts like a Twilight knock-off: teenager starts high school in a new town, supported by a caring single parent, with a twist: she’s the vampire. BUT if you can get past the knee-jerk reaction to the actual story, it’s well worth your time.

Hannah is an eminently sympathetic main character: she wants nothing more than a normal life and only slowly does she realise how much vampirism has changed her and the future ahead of her. Beyond the thirst for blood, super senses, and mesmerism, there’s a part of her that craves more. The arrival of her Maker Lucas and his sister Vivian tips her new life on its side and that’s when the plot kicks off for real. It’s sexy, action-packed, and ends with a bang.

I’m not a fan of the love triangle (or quadrangle, really) that the author has set up but it seems semi-resolved by the end of the book. I hope that it will not be a recurring plot point when there are so many more threads to continue. I want to know how far this conspiracy reaches, where will Hannah go to college, and what is up with Jackson!?

If a teenage paranormal romance is what you’re looking for and you don’t mind things getting steamy, give this book a try. It’s an entertaining and engaging high school romance with a bloody twist.
