Synopsis
A simple mission turned deadly.
Nineteen-year-old vampire Dawn has led a sheltered life within the confines of her father’s presidential headquarters. Upon being sent on a mission to revamp four goofy misfits into guardians of a peaceful little town of Angel Creek, Dawn believes that all her dreams have finally come true. What starts off as a simple task, turns into something unexpected, changing Dawn’s life forever and leading the action-loving, thrill-seeking vampire teen on a path of mystery, danger and intrigue.
When a human girl is kidnapped by a group of rogue vamps, Dawn discovers that there is more going on in Angel Creek than meets the eye. And it all connects to Ethan, the cute newcomer who seems too perfect to be true, Sebastian, the mysterious vampire with a turbulent past, and even Dawn herself. Dawn must not only succeed in revamping the troubled recruits, but must also prevent the vampire race from being overtaken by a malevolent villain who has a strange and obsessive fascination with her. As threat escalates, romance blooms, and ghosts from her past begin to surface, Dawn is sure of only one thing: her life will never be the same.
Synopsis
Becoming a vampire guardian was Dawn Fairchild’s ticket out of the Scarlet House. Fresh off a successful mission, life in Angel Creek should have been great. But when her sort-of-maybe-boyfriend, Sebastian, disappears on a quest to help a beautiful vampire from his past, Dawn finds herself amidst a web of danger, lies, and deceit.
Joining forces with Razor, an enigmatic rebel lacking both a verbal and a physical filter, and her band of Misfits—Brooke, Sophie, Hunter, and Seth—Dawn is thrust into a race against the clock to solve the mystery surrounding brutal Born kidnappings and come to terms with the sudden discovery of her own unique powers. With time ticking away and Born vampires’ lives in jeopardy, it quickly becomes evident that someone—orsomething—desperately wants Dawn and is willing to shed any amount of blood to get her.
Dawn has only one chance to face her demons and overcome all obstacles standing in her way as she embarks on the biggest mission of her life—one that threatens a deadly outcome for all involved.
Review
Dawn is a 19 year old vampire who has trained her whole life. She has been given an assignment to revamp four vampires to be guardians in the town of Angel Creek. What she didn't expect was to face the challenge of bringing together a band of misfit vampires and training them to be a cohesive group that protects the humans in the town. Brooke is a cheerleader and want-to-be prom queen that is self centered and doesn't like to get her nails messed up. Sophie is an anti-social librarian that would rather curl up with a good book. Hunter is the former lead singer in a band with an addiction to alcohol and drugged blood. Seth is a gamer who has only recently been turned. I love the collection of characters and reading how each of these characters have grown by the end of the book.
We also meet Ethan who is a good looking human working in the town diner. My favorite character is Sebastian, a loner vampire that as Dawn would say is a "sucky vampire". He is handsome and brooding and I just couldn't get enough of him. ReVamped has humor, mystery, romance and a villain I wanted to kill. I highly recommend you get a copy, sit back and enjoy the ride.
