Risen (Blood Eternal)

by Cole Gibsen

When vampires are at war . . .

No one is safe.

Charlotte 'Charlie' Houser discovers how vulnerable she is when she searches for her aunt. Drawn into a shadowy world she didn't know existed, is it really surprising to learn her entire life has been a lie? Heck, it's just another “untruth” to add to the list. Right up there with vampires. Because, yeah, they do exist.

As the key pawn in the raging war for America’s Heart, Charlotte’s only chance at survival is picking the right ally. But once allegiances are made, the side she chooses may be the one who wants her dead the most.

Cocktails and Books received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.When her Aunt is kidnapped, Charlie is forced to trust the very being that want to cause her harm in hopes of getting her aunt back.  But Charlie and Sebastian soon discover there is more to what they know of the world and together they fight to get to the bottom of it while rescuing her aunt.

Normally, this is the kind of story I would devour.  A naive heroine and a broody hero who must rely on one another in order to get to the bottom of their issue.  But the relationship between Charlie and Sebastian felt like there was something missing.  Add on the underlying arc of what Charlie is and the story fell a little flat to me.
