Title: Aurora Sky: Vampire Hunter
Author: Nikki Jefford
Source: Received from author in exchange for an honest review
Synopsis:
If there is one thing eighteen-year-old Aurora Sky wants, it’s to get off the iceberg she calls home. Being kissed before she graduates wouldn’t hurt either.
Then a near-fatal car wreck changes everything. Government agents step in and save Aurora’s life in exchange for her services as a vampire hunter. In Alaska. Basically she’s a glorified chew toy. All thanks to her rare blood type, which sends a vampire into temporary paralysis right before she has to finish the job… by hand.
Now Aurora’s only friends are groupies of the undead and the only boy she can think about may very well be a vampire. And if he’s a vampire, she’ll have to kill him.
For ages 18+
Review:
Aurora Sky: Vampire Hunter is the first
book in a new series by Nikki Jefford. The heroine in the story is
Aurora, a typical teenager just trying to finish her senior year in
high school and then leave Alaska.
Suddenly, a horrible car accident turns
her whole life around. Government agents step in and make a deal with
Aurora's mom – they will save her life but she will become a
vampire hunter and stay under the Government's control.
When Aurora wakes up, she finds out
that her blood is toxic to vampires. It puts them in a temporary
paralysis when she is bitten, giving her time to kill the vampire.
Not only is she turned into an assassin, she doesn't really know who
she is any more. She makes bad decisions – choices that she
wouldn't have made before. I'm not really sure I completely liked the
personality of the “new” Aurora. It's understandable though –
she doesn't want any part of this life. She would rather have died.
Aurora is a tough and brave character.
Training and killing vampires is a lot to take on while trying to
finish up high school. She has finally fallen for a guy, and then
realizes that he is a vampire. Aurora and Fane have some great
chemistry together. I wanted to see more between them – I'm a
sucker for romance.
The plot of this book is wonderful and
there are a lot of action scenes. The last ¼ of the book flew by
really quickly for me. All of a sudden I was at the last page and
wondering how the book could possibly be over already. The ending was
a little abrupt. It wasn't a huge cliff-hanger, but enough to
frustrate you and anticipate the next book. By the way, this book is
told from Aurora's point of view, and definitely has a “teen”
voice to it. However, it has sexual situations not suitable for
younger teens.
