Bloodlines 
 By Lindsay Anne Kendal 
 "Keira Jameson used to lead a normal life, she just had a gift, passed down through the generations of her family. Now, after hearing voices, having strange dreams of others calling out to her, and her grandfather's last words haunting her, she sets out to find other families like hers. Along with her best friend Lily, the only person outside her family to know about her gift, Keira begins a hunt for her ancestors. A chance meeting with a young man, Lucian Turner, sets them on the right track, but their discoveries change the way Keira will see herself for ever more. Fear, superstition and heritage are shaping Keira's future and she must face her enemies, even if this could mean losing her life. She cannot escape her destiny. 
 Part Buffy-style horror, part tender romance, Bloodlines will have fans of the genre on tenterhooks waiting for the next instalment of this gripping and hell-raising tale." 
 Perhaps it sounds like a lazy excuse, but I really liked the already existing synopsis (I usually write my own.) It fit it well. Now, I'll tackle the negatives real quick, drinking, smoking, explicit (not graphic) romance, suicide (um, sorta,) and cussing. All of these characters are of age, just thought I'd let you know. The suicide is...I can't say because it'd give it away, but I feel like letting it slide, because...well, you'll figure it out if you read it. However, this book was really original. (originality goes a long way with me.) I found Bloodlines (and Torment) extremely unique and different than most main characters. I love the supporting roles, and I love the dynamics the characters share. My favorite character is Eligos. He's such a sweetie (don't tell him that! He is a Lord in hell after all...) I feel like it's totally worth it. (Interview with the authorlater!) Not to mention, the KILLER cliffhanger at the end of Torment. I'm jazzed to find out what's next!
