Impervious
She excels as an assassin. Will she fail at love?
Vampires are real, existing alongside regular humans as a secret subspecies. The malevolent of their kind exploit their powers and immortality at the expense of their human counterparts. The Organization, a league of benevolent vampires headed up by the anonymous Mr. X, works covertly to keep this threat in check. Amber Ridley is the company’s top agent, unique to the team as the only human working alongside her vampire allies. She is an ‘Impervious’, a rare human with powers that can be used against the malevolent.
When Amber’s latest mission takes her back to the UK to work with her close companion Valentino, she meets his old colleague Hayden Knight. Hayden is infamous to Amber as the man who betrayed their organization and abandoned her friend Valentino in the past. She dislikes Hayden instantly, and his arrogant, cold demeanor does nothing to aid this.
Amber and Hayden are forced to work together on The Organization’s most important mission to date, and they must put aside their differences to take down the menace that threatens the very existence of their group. Amber must put her trust in Hayden, but is she impervious to love?
Reader advisory: This book contains scenes of violence, injury and death. There are brief references to sex work, drug use, addiction, parental neglect and physical abuse.

One of my favourite things about this book was that there was NO love triangle. Insert happy dance here 😉 The book had 3 person POV – Amber, Vale (Valentino) and Hayden, and I loved the dynamic between these three. I enjoyed the sibling like relationship between Amber-Vale and Hayden-Vale. There was real friendship and loyalty between these people, which I appreciated a lot.
Another thing that I liked about this story was the interactions between Amber and Hayden. Watching them together was very entertaining, their chemistry was explosive. The banter, angst and sparks were intense and intoxicating. The hate-to-love trope was very well written with a complicated slow-burn romance.
The take on vampires in this story was interesting, the plot was entertaining with some action, bit of danger, some relationship drama and steamy hot scenes. However, I didn’t completely connect with Amber due to her being emotionally closed and disconnection from her own feelings, hence, there were times when she just frustrated me a lot.
At the end I liked the story and both of the vampire male leads, I was entertained for the most part of the book, but I wasn’t emotionally invested enough to love this book.

An action packed paranormal romance. This was an easy, enjoyable and page-turning read. I liked the originality of the premise and the flips to the usual power balance in vampire novels, particularly romantically. I think fans of The Vampire Academy series who are older now and looking for something with a little more adult content would enjoy it!

It’s fine…
This was DEFINITELY a slow burn, and, unfortunately, the story wasn’t solid enough to keep me interested while waiting for things to take off. If you are into really good writing, then this isn’t for you. However the spice is decent and it moves quickly.

Great simple writing (not easily done) and characters I really did enjoy reading about. Binged this in a day. Definitely a fun romance read!

The cover of this book captured my attention, so I read the blurb.
After discovering the book was about vampires and a human assassin, impervious to their powers, I had to read it.
Zoe Allison’s debut novel delivers action, drama, and romance. The chemistry she creates with the characters is honest and believable. A strong, jaded vampire, gets teamed with a beautiful, tough-minded assassin for a mission to hunt down a single malevolent vampire. The author weaves an intricate series of events, forcing the two to work through issues of trust, loyalty and love. It’s an exciting ride for the reader who never knows what will happen next.
I rated each chapter individually to be fair and came out with an average of 4.38. But because I loved the characters, and the way the author told the story, I gave it 5 stars. Impervious is definitely a good read.
