Psychic vampire Setiana and her partner, a shape-shifter, stop at an inn for a good day\u2019s sleep. While there, Setiana enters a dream state, and visits a young girl, Robyn, in Charleston, South Carolina.\u00a0 It is Robyn\u2019s 11th<\/sup> birthday, and her life will never be the same. Setiana welcomes the girl into a new life. Robyn meets a new companion, a boy named Marion, who discovers he is a shape-shifter. Setiana and her partner help Robyn and Marion understand what their lives will be like in their new forms. There are many types of vampires in the story– some good, some evil. They must all beware of the Water Vampires.<\/p>\n

I had real trouble following the story in this work. The overarching problem was the overuse of descriptive elements. This really muddied up the storyline. I give the author kudos for having a unique style, and based on other reviews, I know it works for others. At any rate, the theme of love came through clearly in the story. Ages 12 and up.<\/p>\n
