About book Amaranth (2011)

This book was a slightly awkward read for me in the first few chapters. It starts you out in Paris and then you're suddenly in Louisiana a couple of years into the future with no warning whatsoever or any sort of explanation as to what happened in the time between. For the first bit of the book, it felt as if the first chapter had no purpose to the story whatsoever and that you could have just started out with chapter two. However, as the book went on, chapter one (in all it's oddity) actually had a purpose and things began to make sense. I felt the ending was rather abrupt and it just doesn't feel right in how the book left off. It's like an improper cliffhanger; it wants to be a cliffhanger that leaves you anxious to find out what happens next but instead it just falls flat and doesn't leave me frantically typing in the book title on amazon to get the second book for my kindle. I was really excited to dive right into this series. After having read Wade's Preservation series, I discovered what an amazingly talented author she is, and there was no turning back. The fact that she writes Paranormal Romances as well, that just called for a celebration. As usual, I didn't read the synopsis for this book before reading it, so I was intrigued by what sort of paranormal being I'd find between the pages. Vampires have always been one of my favorite mythical creatures, and the twist Wade put on the old myth was fresh and unique. Vampires who choose an alternative way of living is not something new, but vampires who seek to lift their curse so they may be human again, that was a fresh approach to the norm. It came with a sacrifice, one that sometimes worked in their favor, and at other times tore them apart. My heart broke for Joel. He was sweet and obviously loved Arianna, their story alone was a tragic love story. Throw in a few witches, along with the hybrids who used them, and there was sure to be an explosive mix of action and adventure. The story was well paced, giving away just enough information to the reader but without delivering everything in one huge info dump. The more Camille learned about her friends, the more I was drawn into their story. A mix of emotions washed over me as love and loss played havoc with these characters whom I'd quickly learned to love. Even the wicked ones, who were so cleverly written that I couldn't help enjoying their evilness, found a place in my heart. Camille was such a great MC. She'd been through so much in her life and she deserved to find happiness. Her true strength and character showed when she ran right into the arms of evil to save the one she'd found that happiness with. That fact that she was a human in a world of vampires never deterred her. Of course it was a stupid, although brave, thing to have done. But, sometimes love gives us the courage to go to the ends of the earth, even to another realm, for those who hold our heart. And we just have to go with it.This was an enticing start to this fantastic trilogy and I cannot wait to see what more lies in wait for Camille, Gavin and the rest of the Amaranthians. Will they defeat Samira and gain their humanity, or will true evil reign?
