Reviewer: Valerie Rating: 4 out of 5 Fairies Being new to the genre of young adult paranormal (vampire) romance, I have to say I was a bit skeptical going into Bella Forrest’s A Shade of Vampire. However, I became taken in by the characters, and between the many undercurrents that were running throughout the story. Derek and Lucas, Ben and Sophia and then of course there was Vivienne. I thoroughly hope that these story lines get flushed out a bit more as the story continues, as well as the main story line of Derek and Sophia. When we first meet Sophia, she is about to be thrust into a world she didn’t know existed, while already questioning herself and her purpose. She didn’t know what to do, but somehow, she was able to find her strength. At the end of the story, she is on the way to finding out who she can be. Derek, on the other hand, is struggling with who he thinks he needs to be, rather than finding out what he can truly be. His story line is waiting to be flushed more...
