Book 1 ~ Vampire Lies
*** Eyes like violet sapphires. Wings of smoldering fire. Consume your true love's blood. Become the Eternal Vampire. ***
Once upon a time there lived a vampire with wings and the genie who loved her...
Born of the seven magics, Jasmine is different in every way, including the obnoxious wings on her back courtesy of the original Vampires. She wants to be normal, to be a regular teenaged girl.
When a gorgeous dark-haired boy named Laeddin shows up and promises to sneak her away from all her problems and hide her in the human world, she agrees.
But an evil lurks in her nightmares, a man with red eyes. It doesn’t take long for Jasmine to realize that no matter how far she tries to run from who she is, he’s only a dream away. He wants her. He needs her. He acts as though he loves her.
It’s becoming harder and harder to tell the difference between the path that’ll lead to her happily ever after, and the path that’ll lead to her destruction as well as all magic

This is a twist on the tale of Aladdin. Jasmine, daughter of Snow White Vampire Queen of Sharra, has discovered that her secret hideaway is in fact the home of Laeddin, a genie. And she learns that she has been his master for several years and must make 3 wishes.
Jasmine's first wish is to wish her wings away and for a normal high school life on Earth instead of Sharra. She hates her wings, they mark her as 'other', the only Original Vampire in all of Sharra, and they prevent her from traveling to Earth to experience all she wants to: movies, high school, friends, etc.
But when she gets her wish, she discovers that it's not all that it's cracked up to be, she desperately misses her best friend, and she has feelings for Laeddin. That...and there is a monster on the loose. One she could handle if she had her wings and the powers they grant her.
I really liked this book. I'm excited about the rest of the season and to see where this lands. Like most teenagers, Jasmine doesn't quite think things through and ignores her instincts. She is having issues with her parents (growing pains!) and yearns for a love as great as theirs. Although there were a few homonym misuse mistakes in my copy, it was an ARC, so I'm sure those would be fixed up. Overall, I loved the story and the plot and look forward to seeing how this unravels in future episodes. Jasmine was on the verge of making a good decision, but ultimately made a poor one at the very end of this book...and it has endangered lives: hers and others. Can't wait to see what happens next!
