Forget You Not is a novella by Kristie Cook. As stated at the start of the book...“This is a New Adult paranormal romance in the Havenwood Falls series of New Adult and Adult fantasy novellas featuring a variety of supernatural creatures. The series is a collaborative effort by multiple authors. Each book is generally a stand-alone, so you can read them in any order, although some authors will be writing sequels to their own stories. Please be aware when you choose your next read. We do recommend that you read Forget You Not first as introduction to the town and its eccentricities.”
Kaela Peters is a vampire, when she was turned she was left alone and woke with a blood lust that saw her nearly killing her fiancé and best friend. Steps were taken to heal them both, and for their memories to be wiped of any knowledge of what happened and of Kaela at all. It broke her heart to have the people closest to her forget her, but she planned to get herself under control and try to win back her fiancé. When she discovered that her best friend and fiancé are now a couple, she tried to deal with it, but over time it got more difficult. When he proposed to the 'other woman' exactly as he had to her, Kaela loses is and ends up nearly killing them both. It's only then that she realises she needs to get far away from them.
At the most opportune time she gets a job offer from an Inn at Havenwood Falls, in Colorado. She decides to take the job and from the minute she gets there her life as she knows it will never be the same again. She's not who she thought she was, she's not WHAT she thought she was, and her new, yet old life is a huge deal that she has to come to terms with.
Although this was a short story, it was full to brimming with amazing characters, love, passion, danger, lies and intrigue. As an introduction to Havenwood Falls it is perfect, the place is fabulous and one I look forward to reading more about with the other stories set there. This is the first of what I am sure is going to be a wonderful series, and who better to lead the way than Kristie Cook.
I voluntarily read an advanced readers' copy of this book.
