The Pointe
THIS BOOK HAS BEEN NEWLY EDITED.
Annalie Spencer's move to Eden's Pointe was supposed to mean a fresh start for her. And after caring for her father through his long illness, she felt that a chance to start over, to move on and forget, was just what she needed. However, Eden's Pointe doesn't exactly turn out to be the haven she's expecting. Though most of the residents of the town are friendly and welcoming, the darkly handsome Nathaniel Jacobson seems to be the one person who wishes Annalie had never stepped foot in Eden's Pointe. From their very first meeting it becomes clear that he harbours a deep hatred for her, a hatred that Annalie can neither understand nor explain. After all, she had only met Nathaniel after she arrived in the town, so he had no reason to hate her to such an alarming extent.
And the more run-ins she has with Nathaniel Jacobson, the more obvious it becomes that his hatred for her might just be putting her in danger.
Though Annalie truly believes that Nathaniel Jacobson might be trying to hurt her, no one in town is taking her seriously. Until Caleb Blackwell sees with his own eyes that something is horribly wrong with Nathaniel's reaction to her. Caleb decides to take it upon himself to keep Annalie safe, and she quickly realizes that putting her life in Caleb's hands was the right thing to do. In fact, Caleb Blackwell might be the only person in Eden's Pointe who can stop Nathaniel because, as Annalie is soon to learn, he knows exactly why she's in danger.
As it turns out, Annalie's lineage actually stretches far back into the history of Eden's Pointe. And it soon comes to light that Nathaniel Jacobson was there at the beginning. And so was Caleb Blackwell...

I met this young, new author on Tumblr and figured I'd give the book a shot. The Kindle version was $1.99.
It's a good read, but seriously unpolished. Obviously, as a self-published book, this novel hasn't been professionally edited. There are some typos, a bunch of continuity errors, several places where the narration switches mid-paragraph from third person to first (was the book originally going to be first person narrated, I wonder?) and no less than three places where the author has forgotten to remove her personal notations to herself to fix things at a later time ("Yo, bitchassness, fix dis shit and maybe add some shit.").
That said, the characters were well-fleshed out, and the plot and premise are pretty solid. It was an entertaining and engaging read, and the mystery is well built up and suspenseful. It was worth the $1.99 Kindle Edition.
On a more personal note, I'm getting sick of the vampire thing. It's over-saturated in books and media, now.
