Lailah by Nikki Kelly

4.0

I received Lailah in return for an honest review as part of the tour hosted by FFBC. Lailah doesn't know her past she just knows that she doesn’t age that she’s haunted by a handsome stranger and that vampires exist. After work one night Lailah currently going as Francesca finds an injured vampire who she takes to her home and even gives him blood of to save him. Little did she know at the time this encounter would change her life forever sending her on the run to stay alive. She meets Gabriel the guy from her dreams who’s she has a connection with as well as a few other vampires who aren’t connected to their creators.

Staying with the vampires and Gabriel quickly comes to an end when they split up hoping to find out who Lailah is and why the pureblood vampires want her. Only Gabriel knows her secret that she’s immortal and can heal her injuries quickly. While he’s gone she stays with three of the vampires that have broken their bonds with their creators remaining in hiding. Lailah is torn between Gabriel and Jonah one of light and the other dark they each call to her but who will be the one to capture her heart. Will she be able to survive the Purebloods chasing her?

I really like Lailah as a character as the story progressed she continued to get better as she grew into this bad ass character. I wanted to dislike Jonah because Gabriel was just the right choice for Lailah after all they knew each other in the past. As the story progressed I grew to respect the vampires each with their own sad story. It’s a unique love triangle which I tend to avoid but I think it’s done well.

I knew from seeing the cover I had to read Lailah it’s stunning so of course I signed up for the tour. I’m not huge on the whole angel concept it’s still new to me and I was excited to see how it would play out with the vampires. I loved the idea of the dimensions where the angels and pureblood vampires come from I found it very fascinating and unique. Lailah was an exciting and captivating story it was hard to put down and I had to know what would happen next in her story. I loved the characters they are easy to connect with and you can’t help falling for either leading guy. I enjoyed the whole story the author did a beautiful job taking the vampire/angel concept and weaving a new story. I can’t wait for the next book to see what will happen with Lailah.
