Publisher Description
In SAVED (Book #1 of the Shadow Vampires), Keira and Amanda, twins, move with their family to a new town, and start their senior year at a new high school. But though they are twins, the girls have different fates. Amanda, beautiful, popular, is sought out by everyone. Keira, who has always lived in Amanda’s shadow, is smaller, awkward, different. Even her mother, who is so close to Amanda, doesn’t know what to make of her other daughter. Keira turns to books, and to her journal, for solace, and to find out about other worlds.
Amanda makes friends easily at the new school, and quickly finds a boyfriend, while Keira is left alone, an outsider. But very quickly, it is clear that something strange is going on in Everstock. The town and the school are very divided. The popular, rich kids act as if they own the school and have nothing to do with the other kids, who are poorer and live in a different part of town. Not only are the kids meaner here, but an unknown infection has gripped the town, with more and more people going to the hospital. Something here is terribly wrong.
But things change suddenly, as there is a terrible accident involving the twins. Not only are Keira and Amanda’s lives changed forever, but a new dimension of life begins to open to Keira.
As Keira recovers, she begins to change in ways she can’t expect, receiving new and mysterious powers that no one can possibly understand. At the same time, a gorgeous, mysterious new boy, Cooper, appears at the school, who grips her imagination, and who refuses to tell her what secret he is hiding.
As Keira and Cooper grow closer to each other, it soon becomes apparent that destiny has brought them together—and that they may each have to sacrifice it all if they want to stay together…
Customer Reviews
Better then expected
I got the book not know what to expect I wasn't really expecting anything really I just kind of got it.
As I read it, it was ok then I into it and then I found myself really into it that I even was replacing Keira's name with mine.
This book is not the best thing ever it does need some help here and there, but I enjoyed it.
I read it in two nights and I'm dying to know more.
Editing, or lack thereof.
Interesting story line. It drew me in, quickly. But, I was continually ripped out of the story by the glaring lack of editing. From typos, to under developed story lines, to flat out author intrusion, this story was not easy to read. However, I’m interested enough to read the next installment.
Bad
It had grammar issues! Said the girls name a lot and the falling in love part was totally weird. They don't even know each other by the end of the book.
