The synopsis says:A sub-species of human beings.
Twenty-year-old Julia Wade, a young woman tragically widowed, is in the middle of a bizarre bid between two mythical species who are vying for the unique gift she holds: the property of her blood. The vampires need her to balance the food load of the human species and give them their coveted "Lightwalkers." The Were wish to be moonless changers, and a Rare One such as Julia can make that a reality.
Julia wants to belong to herself.
Can she free herself and begin a new life?
I read this book, and the next two in the series, within 3 or 4 days. It gripped me from the beginning, as good fantasy can.
At first, you don't know what is real as you are following the protagonist, Julia, and intermixed there are flashbacks, dreams and scenes with other characters; however as the story progresses all the threads join together as the different races (Singer, Vampire and Were) join together towards a common goal.
It's a Young Adult book, and though there needs to be 'mating' in order for the magical properties of the Singer blood to be shared with a different race, it's not an adult book - just a bit of snogging and actually, Julia is a virgin and holds on to her virginity as long as she can.
I really enjoyed the books, and have put books 4-6 on my wishlist so I can find out what happens next.
