Once Bitten: A Gothic Romance

by T.L. Olsen

Love is seldom easy, even sometimes cruel. Young, first love can prove torture on the heart and soul; but to love an immortal is a story all of its own. The end of senior year is almost upon Nycole VanLicht. Springtime, studying, bonfires at the lake with friends, just another Friday night. And that is when it all changed-one night, one bonfire, one kiss behind the boathouse. When Nycole discovers the mysterious hooded figure who has haunted her dreams since freshman year is much more than just a figment of her imagination, her world and the life she once knew will never be the same. Her high school days become a distant memory as the world becomes anything but simple. Dristan, a two-hundred-year-old vampire, has been tasked with protecting Nycole from a devious and estranged uncle determined to end the mortality of her bloodline. Nycole’s journey pulls her away from her day-to-day routine of navigating through the trials of teenage life, and thrusts her into a supernatural world of kidnap, betrayal, love and death. ~A Young Adult Vampire Novel

This is a fun YA read with many likable characters and I was quickly invested in finding out what happened to them . The author did a great job creating an image in my mind and I couldn't wait to pick it up to read more. There were also some fun takes on the vampire legend. I can't wait to see if there is a sequel.
