An energy vampire hungry for love meets the wisecracking woman of his parents’ nightmares.
Vampire Dante Allegretti hates
his sucky life. Born into a family of energy siphoners, he’s desperate to
reinvent himself as a fun-loving normal guy rather than a crowd-sourcing
parasite. To stop the draining urges, Dante resorts to grinding alternative
meds in an ancient Mortar & Pestle, not knowing it contains magical
properties.
Enter wisecracking
thirty-year-old Sophie Arley, who lives with her clingy parents. Working three
jobs and craving independence, she’s come back strong after a breakdown crashed
her cozy world. So when the weird, hot guy she just met asks her to the movies,
she agrees.
Sophie won’t spoil their
magical connection by mentioning her heartbreak. And Dante dreads telling
Sophie about his dark side. Will the power from the Mortar & Pestle guide
them to their happily ever after despite the secrets and lies?
Our Review: This smart, snappy takeoff on the traditional vampire-human romance, is fun and fresh, showcasing the author’s gift for writing conemporary dialogue along with layered emotions. Don’t let the somewhat slow start stop you—once Dante and his ‘unique’ family comes to light, this one is a non-stop adventure. Revamped is a breath of fresh air.
