Publisher's summary

Is it love or addiction?

Seventeen-year-old Gertrude Morgan, the only child of one of the wealthiest couples in America, is shipped away from her home in New York City to the American school in Athens against her will. She would rather remain in the world of her books.

After settling in with her poor and boisterous host family, she discovers that the vampires and Greek gods that people her favorite books actually exist!

Yes. The city of Athens has secrets. Her host family calls them "tramps". In Greek, they are called vrykolakas, or "vryks", which sometimes gets translated to "freaks". They are the vampires of Athens, created centuries ago by the Maenads. They live in caves beneath the acropolis without economic resources and according to rules imposed on them by the Olympians.

First and foremost, they are forbidden from turning humans into vampires. The human will not turn unless all of the blood is drained, so a vampire is allowed to drink up to one pint per month from a willing mortal. Some mortals are willing because a vampire bite will infect the body for six hours, and during that time, the mortal has the powers of the vampire: flight, invisibility, strength, speed, x-ray vision, and mind control. Such great power can become irresistible, though dangerous and addicting to mortals....

As Gertie uncovers the unfathomable secrets of this ancient city, she is drawn to the beauty and deep thoughts of a boy she first met on the bus into Athens-Jeno. Her host family and another boy she later learns is a demigod warn her to stay away from him, but her curiosity gets the best of her and she unwittingly becomes a catalyst in an uprising led by Dionysus, the god of wine and lord of the vampires.

VAMPIRES ARE REAL IN ATHENS

THIS IS A GOTHIC SERIES, WITH SOME HUMOUR AND LOTS OF ADVENTURE WITH A SLOW BURN ROMANCE. I ENJOYED THE SERIES. NARRATION WAS GREAT.

Don’t bother

I wanted to like this book. Unfortunately the narration is awful and the story itself is lacking. It could have been a good story if at least the narration was better. Don’t waste your credits on this book. I couldn’t even finish it because it’s so bad.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. IT IS AWFUL...OMG!!!. I only continued to the end because I didn't want to waste a credit and I couldn't get a refund. PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR CREDIT. IT'S TORTURE.
