Maya Angelou said, “The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.”
A year ago in a dark alleyway in Manhattan, twenty-four homeless people were murdered by a
savage vampire and his apprentice.
Sixteen-year-old Maeve had been living in a cardboard box in that alley. Her only thoughts back then
were how to find food and stay warm. She was not there when they came.
Now, she stands in a cold rain, alone in the night mourning her lost friends. Though Maeve lives with
her boyfriend’s parents and attends a private school, she is troubled and longs to have parents and a
home of her own.*
Last Christmas, sixteen-year-old Mike met Maeve in front of a store window with an animated ballet
display of The Nutcracker. He was entranced by her red hair and green eyes. When she ran off after
he invited her for hot cocoa, Mike tried to follow.
Instead of finding Maeve, he was murdered by the savage vampire. Later, he woke up in the morgue
with memories of her weeping for him. He didn’t know what to do. He was a vampire now. Mike did
the only thing he could do. Find Maeve.
Now, Mike is heartbroken. Maeve wants to move out of his family’s home. What if she moves on and
away from him?
According to Max Vander Meer, Vampire King of New York, there is something evil in the wind.

It has been a year since Maeve Wyndom lived in a cardboard box and survived the attack that left twenty-four of her friends dead and some turned into vampires. She survived and blamed herself for what happened. Even after everything that happened when the apprentice for the savage vampire was caught, she pleaded his case and asked that he be given a second chance, unfortunately, not everyone uses their second chance to better themselves and that was the case with Bryce.
For a year Maeve lived with Mike Harris’s family, Mike, now a vampire, is determined to protect Maeve and it was discovered that Mike and Maeve are life mates. Studying to become an Araheim Knight, she is living a good life but still feels empty for not having a family of her own. Max Vander Meer the vampire king of New York wants to adopt Maeve and she decides to leave Mike’s home and live with Max, his wife and young son, Stevie.
Bryce had no intention of using his second chance for anything but killing another reason for Maeve to feel guilty. He got his hands on a grimoire filled with dark magic and is using it to create Revenants (zombies) he also can use glamour and appear as anyone he wants. Catching Bryce is proving near impossible with the Revenants and his ability to make himself look like anyone else and everyone is in danger.
Trying to keep life as normal as possible, going to school, attending parties and hanging out with friends Maeve will stop at nothing to find Bryce and kill him. Surrounded by vampires, werewolves, fairies and all manners of supernaturals special undergarments are invented that would give her superpowers, giving her the ability to protect herself. No matter what happens, Maeve doesn’t hesitate to put her own life in danger to save an innocent life.
This is a series that must be read in order and even though I read book one I still felt a little lost at times and had to refresh my memory. The characters are wonderful, especially little three-year old Stevie who brought a smile to my face, he loves Maeve and calls her his sister and his answer to any problem is to draw a picture and it will fix the problem. Maeve is a seventeen-year-old who is loved by everyone, and it is love that is well deserved. A girl who went from living in a cardboard box to living with a family, going to private school and never having to worry about where her next meal is coming from.
I would recommend this series to everyone, young or old, it is a beautiful story of survival. Maeve survived being homeless and was determined to give back, helping those who still lived on the streets and never taking for granted everything she was given.
