Living Violet by Jaime Reed


Samara Marshall is convinced that something is not quite right about her co-worker, Caleb Baker. No one else seems to notice the way that his eyes glow, or the effect that he has on women - or, more importantly, the fact that too many of those women seem to end up in the hospital. When Caleb starts to show interest in Sam, she tries to avoid him, but somehow they keep ending up together. But regardless of how much fun they have, Caleb has secrets - secrets that could put Sam and her family in danger.

I enjoyed reading these books; the story was interesting and the characters were well developed. I particularly liked the fact that Sam didn't magically fall in love with Caleb once she found out his secrets - their relationship still takes a lot of work. I will say that it occasionally felt as though the author was trying a little too hard to use slang and sound "natural," but most of the time the writing was fine. I would recommend this series to older fantasy fans who enjoy supernatural romances.

The Cambion Chronicles series continues with Burning Emerald and Fading Amber.
