I was given an ARC of this book to review. And what fun I had reading this! I love stories that break the mold, and treat a theme or genre with a fresh take. The Vampire Code is definitely different from anything I've read in the vampire genre. There's a strong heroine (which I totally dig), and a delicious hero (sigh...Sebastian) - both well sketched and developed, showing growth over time - and an engaging plot and fast pace which leaves you breathless to the end. I really enjoyed seeing Sebas ...more

Vampires, lawyers, busy cities, and sex... Oh my!

I liked this book a lot, it featured a very strong minded woman told in her point of view named Aurora Lake. She's a lawyer that practices law in the Manhattan area, and the book starts out with her being hired by Sebastian Fiscard to represent his brother Robert, who was wrongly accused of killing a human when it was in fact Roberts fledgling vampire wife Trish.

I liked this book a lot, it featured a very strong minded woman told in her point of view named Aurora Lake. She's a lawyer that practices law in the Manhattan area, and the book starts out with her being hired by Sebastian Fiscard to represent his brother Robert, who was wrongly accused of killing a human when it was in fact Roberts fledgling vampire wife Trish. By fledgling, it means a vampire that has not yet reached their second year since they were turned, and since Trish is under the care of her husband, any thing she does during this time period means he's held responsible. Pretty clever idea thought up by the author, I thought.

Ms. Adams even thought up a new version of the KKK – only this time the clan is against vampires and the integration.

Sebastian Fiscard. . . The very cool, laid-back, collected, handsome vampire. He's definitely the type of guy that would make your toes curl by his words alone, and I would love to find myself lost and alone with him in a dark alley. Kind of like how Aurora found herself, wrapped tightly in his embrace as they were chased from the catacombs of the Vampire Repository. They were there to acquire a book that would give them the leverage they needed to win Robert's case, but someone who obviously hates vampires and integration didn't want this to happen.

Aurora was handpicked to be Roberts lawyer by none other than he and Sebastian’s mother Ani. She's a very old vampire and wields the gift of being a clairvoyant. It seems she's seen a great deal of what's to become of Aurora's future, but how it all plays out, especially when we find out about her mothers background... You'll just have to see!!! I will say this though, I did like the bit of “witchy'ness” that was in the book. Vampires and witches are too fun to read, and I can't wait to see what happens with the next installment of this series! I also hope that Hespera gets what she deserves from Aurora or Allegra! ...more

Aurora Lake is an attorney being asked to represent a vampire in the vampire court which would be a first. She is very intrigued by the idea yet would like to know more about this. Sebastian Fiscard doesn't really know why he's asking this human to represent his brother in court but knows that he can't refuse his mother's request. Aurora asks to see documents that will help Robert's case Sebastian tells her he'll see what he can do. When Sebastian and Aurora are attacked while pursuing this know ...more

Review to come

Here goes... I enjoyed the story! I thought it was creatively written and couldn't wait to find out what happened. The suspense was constant and there were so many different plot twist that I was constantly surprised. This is why I gave it 5 stars!!

Aurora I didn't care for because she was naive, ignorant (regarding communication) and she had no moral compass. I hoped throughout the book that she would change but it didn't happen and she further fell down the rabbit hole.
