Attraction: The Lepidoptera Vampire Series
Violette Castell is a quiet, high achieving teenager, living with her family in Los Angeles. When her parents die in a horrific carjacking, Violette and her sister, Danielle, are fostered to a couple who move them to Bagnolet, France.
When Violette meets charming Michael Gramaze, she feels an instant magnetism toward him. As their attraction for each other grows, Violette stumbles upon the truth about Michael and his family of vampires. She is thrust into a world of danger and secrecy, where rival vampire dynasties fight for power, and where the very existence of the human race hangs in the balance. Desperate to keep his family secret, Violette is drawn into an unruly duel between good and evil, and discovers she has more of a role to play in this battle than she could ever have imagined.

Attraction is book 1 in the Lepidoptera Vampire Series by Susan Hoddy.
Two sisters, Violette and Danielle live with their foster carers after losing their parents in a horrific accident, soon after they move from LA to Bagnolet, France where Violette meets Michael, a strong and charming vampire, their attraction to each other is instantaneous and so begins the romantic tale of two wickedly fun and dazzling bloodsuckers, and needless to say you can’t have a story without a gang of debauched vampires terrorising humans.
A very straightforward and light read. The storyline was good, however it could have been more meatier. The cast is great though the dialogue between all the characters is a tad too gooey and cutesy, not that there is anything wrong with mushy interactions but more grit and fire given to some of the characters dialogue would give them their own voice and stand out more.
Overall, a fun, entertaining and not too frightening read about vampires, and the mind talk... a great addition.
Already onto book #2 and loving it.

A very good read. Violette is another female that does the opposite of what she is told and gets kidnapped. Michael then has to rescue her. I am going to continue this to find out what happens. Thank goodness it didn't end with a cliffhanger I didn't like

This book grips you from page one. I stayed up way to late to finish it. The characters are loveable, and the action never stops. This author has an awesome writing style. I already desperately want book 2. I recommend for mature adults, due to some very steamy love scenes.

Susan’s Lepidoptera Vampire Series of books was a very interesting read. She gives us a somewhat different and very imaginative version of the exciting lives of an opulent vampire coven. If you enjoy a saucy vampire romance, then this is the book series for you.
