★★★ "CINDERELLA MEETS TWILIGHT" - AMAZON REVIEW ★★★
After her mother’s death, Taylor Hale goes to live with her father on the remote island of Dawnhaven. She’s dreading it, but she has a plan: she'll keep her head down, survive senior year, and ignore that her wicked stepmother treats her like trash.
Then she meets wealthy summer resident James Champlain, and everything changes.
James is tall and strapping, with a square jaw. In addition to his looks, he’s charming, funny, and kind. Taylor is increasingly drawn to him, but they're from two different worlds. She was on food stamps, he lives off a trust fund. Then there are the rumors: the locals say he’s running some sort of cult at his estate.
Taylor doesn't believe it, but James is definitely mysterious--as is Dawnhaven itself. There’s something dark in the island woods, something dangerous. When Taylor encounters it, she learns that not only is James not what he appears...nothing is.
★★★This is the first book of a thrilling paranormal romance trilogy, perfect for fans of TWILIGHT and THE VAMPIRE DIARIES. Best for older teens: contains adult language and themes, and there are some scary parts.★★★

"Pardon me while I swoon!" - ★★★★★ Amazon Review Sometimes love requires a leap of faith… Taylor Hale’s barely had time to adjust to the new world she’s living in, one filled with supernatural mysteries. Not that she’s complaining—as long as she’s with the love of her life, James Champlain, she can face anything. But the island of Dawnhaven is getting even more dangerous. Lines have been crossed. Vows have been broken. Reparations must be made. James has only two goals: to keep Taylor safe and to protect the balance. There’s an uneasy truce with the local shifters, ...

Great story!
I love that this is just the beginning. The characters were intriguing. I want more!
This book uses virtual voice, I had no issues with it. If you don't like books using virtual voice, don't listen to them. It's the story that really counts.

Balance
What a story. Vampire, witches, small town, love story. Trigger warnings with drinking and bullying. I love the fact that this story takes place in Maine. This is my home state. The description of the island is bang on. Cute 17 year old girl falling for an older man. Twist vampire. More twists with witches, medium, and readings. Interesting twist with the stepmom and a gentleman and their twitching. And the ending of the book blew my mind. I cannot wait to see what happens. I don’t like the single narrative AI. Words being miss pronounced, but otherwise it was a good book. Highly recommend.

Narration Excruciating
It was very difficult to get to the end of the book because the virtual narration is terrible. Intonation totally off, difficulty determining which character was speaking and emphasis in wrong places. The only reason I finished the book was because I liked the story.
