Haven is the first kick-ass book in a trilogy featuring Carina Tranquilli, a half-vampire half-human whose powers and memories have been locked away until her 25th birthday. Not only does she have a meet and greet with her dubious Italian vampire family she didn’t know existed, she gets a glimpse of a mysterious guy who affects her in ways she’s never experienced before…as in almost killing her with a touch. On top of all these B-day bombs, a dark force is out to get Carina, and the only way to survive is to unlock the puzzle of her past. I loved everything about this book—the action, Carina’s procession in growing with her newfound powers and identity, the romance and relationships. The cast of characters was phenomenal, Faith the seer, Adrian the gay BFF, uber-powerful Warden Thomas, Jonas the dark and brooding vampire (who I particularly adored), the sidekick vampires and bodyguards. Five huge stars. And Celia—hurry up with the sequel already. :)
