Evernight Series by Claudia Gray

The Evernight Series consists of 4 books so far.  The first three are in publication and the release date for the fourth book has not been announced yet.  The first book is Evernight, the second is Stargazer, the third is Hourglass and the title of the fourth book will be Afterlife.  This series is definitely for an older age group.  It follows Bianca, a rare girl born of two vampires, through her journey on ultimately having to make a choice between becoming a full adult vampire or facing the unknown of what she'll become.  While attending Evernight Academy she meets and falls in love with Lucas, who turns out to be a member of Black Cross, a group of vampire hunters.  Evernight grabs you from the very beginning and you won't stop reading until you've read all the books and will leave you waiting desperately for Afterlife to be published!  It is a true passionate love story, but don't worry it's not like twilight.  I really like finding supernatural and vampire stories that are unlike anything else and this series is just that.  You get to intimately know the characters and get wrapped up in there situations and conflicts right along with them.  Each book you read, Claudia packs it with such elements as mystery, suspense, and romance that you'll be yelling at Bianca like people do during scary movies!!  These books get the highest possible rating from me, I can't wait to find out when her fourth book will be published or any other stories she decides to write.  Can't wait!!!!!!
