Crimson Groves by Ashley Robertson
Abigail Tate was a normal human girl. Until the day Bronx the vampire barges into her life and turns her against her will. Held captive while forced to deal with never ending cravings for blood, Abby prays for a way to escape. Only when an opportunity arises, it’s with the aid of an innocent human named Tyler–except vampires are forbidden to interact with the unbitten. But Abby quickly learns this human has secrets of his own…secrets that can either help her or get her killed. Only Abby discovers that she was the one with the biggest secret of them all.

My Review:
Crimson Grove was not a “typical” vampire story. The beginning was a little slow, honestly I wasn’t quite sure where she was going with the plot but I soon realized there was a method to her “madness” and I was engrossed in the book. Abby is not your typical MC in a vampire book. She’s a bit of a whiner in the beginning, pretty down on life and smarting over catching her best friend with her boyfriend and her abandonment by her parents. On a night she was feeling particularly bad she is wooed by this mysterious guy named Bronx. Even though she had a odd feeling she left with him and had her life changed forever and NOT for the good. Abby now has to decided if she is going to give into her fate or fight for her freedom and existence, out of the grasp of Bronx. What she does completely goes against the girl you see in the beginning of the book. Crimson Groves is a story that ensnares you before you even realize it. If you are looking for a different kind of vampire book… check this one out and from the excerpt I read of the next book, I think it may be a new fav series for me.
