Young Adult | Paranormal

Colby Blanchard may be an unwilling half-blood vampire, but now that she's accepted her situation, she's all about activism. In the first book in this teen vampire series, BRACED2BITE, Colby fought for and won emancipation for half- bloods and now they've allowed her to set up a sorority, Psi Phi.

But has Colby taken on more than she should? Full-blooded vampires hate the half-bloods and it's a challenge keeping them safe. And within the first week of other girls arriving at the sorority, one is found dead.

Added to the tense situation and whether she can handle her position, Colby is at odds with her on-again-off-again boyfriend Thomas. His job, before the half-blood's emancipation, was to ummmm...terminate them. Well, he might put it nicer than that, but that's what it was. And while he's glad Colby won her case and that half-bloods are allowed to live, he can't seem to let go of his control freak nature and accept that Colby can take care of herself. Aside from the odd murder here and there...

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and look forward to the next book. Snappy dialogue, intriguing characters and just the huge potential inherent in the storyline will certainly keep me reading. And although the books are geared toward teens, I think they're a fun read for anyone.

SUMMARY

We only accept certain people in my sorority-no fullblooded vampires allowed.

Psi Phi is just like any sorority on campus-except for the part about them being half-blood vampires. Colby Blanchard emancipated her fellow halfbloods and laid the smackdown for some wayneeded new laws, but things still aren't good. The Vampire Tribunal is dumping the newest pledges on her lawn...bound and gagged. And Thomas, her hunky vampire investigator boyfriend, is being a little too much of a gentleman.

Things aren't exactly cushy for the ladies at the Psi Phi house. One sister wants to return to her vegan lifestyle- while another is constantly poised for a fistfight. And royal bloodsucker Ileana Romanov thinks everyone is her personal butler. And to top it off, leaked info on the sisters' whereabouts is bringing on some ugly, unexpected attacks. Either someone in the Tribunal wants them dead, orthere's a spy in the house, watching them day and night. Or if it's a full-blood, just night.
