Man or monster? It's the question Ethan constantly asks himself as he battles with murderous urges whenever he's around humans. He and his family are all vampires, but not all vampires are alike. His family are pure bloods. He and his siblings were born into a family of vampires. They didn't have to be turned like those that aren't pure bloods. And they can do things that other vampires can't, like being able to tell if a vampire is a killer of humans or not by their smell. This sin't a normal vampire trait unless you're in their family. Ethan decides to get away on a vacation of sorts for a while with his sister and brother-in-law (Isabelle and Stefan). They are disgustingly in love with each other while Ethan wonders if he will ever find his mate. Since he is traveling down a path that could lead to him turning into a crazed monster, he highly doubts it. Then he meets Emma while on his vacation. She's a very sweet and kind girl, and a human. Ethan has always made it a point to avoid humans, but this one won't let him go and he finds himself entangled in a very complicated relationship that is quickly spiraling out of control. Things go from crazy to insane when Emma's ex turns up and he's not what anyone expected. It turns out that Tristan has changed quite a bit in the last year and not for the better. He's bound and determined to take Emma back, but there's no way Ethan will ever let that happen. Even if he has to let the beast out to protect his mate. Hopefully afterwards he can put it back in.
This third book in the Vampire Awakenings Series can be read as a stand alone or as a part of the series. It's another fabulous read by Brenda K. Davies with a great story line and hot immortal vampires! There's nothing like a good story about a guy who is seriously conflicted and constantly hiding it from the world, including his closest friends and relatives. I also like how he misjudged Stefan and Ethan finds out that there are others who have struggled just like him with the impulse to murder humans. The blood lust in some seem to be uncommonly powerful. Ethan comes into contact with some of these vampires and they help him get through this trial while he tries to figure out what to do about Emma. She and her friends find out by accident what he is and she has a hard time dealing with it for a while. Through it all, one thing is certain though and that is how they feel about each other. But she has to choose whether to act on these feelings or not. If she does, she becomes like him and they are together forever. If she doesn't, she destroys him. How much of a sacrifice would it be to give up her life so she can regain a new one with the man she is supposed to be with?
