A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Shawn
Zoe is a popular, well dressed, teen that has everything going for her. When her parents are murdered her "perfect" life comes crashing down, leaving her in the custody of an Uncle she doesn’t even know.
Uncle Julian is currently residing in the Bahamas, what a perfect place for a teenage girl to hang out and meet boy’s right? Wrong! It doesn't take long for Zoe to realize that this is not the average "hot spot" and starts to question the weird things Uncle Julian does.
Does Zoe have reason to have concern? Does this vampire-infested island ever get back to normal?
Zoe's fate is in the hands of those around her but she takes on more than she ever thought she was capable of.
Sandra Cox did a great job and I couldn't put it down. Even though we know vampires don't exist, she keeps that little question in the back of your mind...what if?

Book Blurb for Vampire Island
My name is Zoe Tempest. Just let me say, I had no intention of becoming a vampire hunter. My world revolved around the trendiest clothes, the boy of the week, shopping, and texting.
I always tried to downplay the fact that I’m really quite intelligent. I’d much rather be considered blonde and clueless. It’s so much easier to get dates.
My parents were well-off and indulgent. I was the center of their universe. I’m afraid I took that for granted.
One odd thing, my mother insisted I take self-defense training. I just figured she wanted to keep her little princess safe. But looking back, perhaps she had a premonition.
To my surprise, I took to it like a kid to Pop Tarts. I ended up with a black belt in karate. It’s an excellent form of exercise. Not that I need to worry about that like some of the poor things in my class. I’m a 5’7” blonde, with blue eyes and a kick-ass figure. Barbie’s got nothing on me.
My life was as close to perfect as a seventeen year old's can get. I had everything. Then my parents were murdered and my world came crashing down.
After their funeral, I went to live with my uncle Julian Kilmer. That’s when everything changed. In a manner more terrifying than anything I could have imagined.
