The Drakes are rather different to your usual neighbors. They are vampires and some of the members of the family date back to the twelfth century. One of the children, Solange, is the only born female vampire known and, as such, she poses a direct threat to the vampire queen. Her best friend Lucy is human, and when Solange is kidnapped, Lucy and Solange's brother, Nicholas, set out to save her. Lucy soon discovers that she would like to be more than just friends with Nicholas. But how does one go about dating a vampire? Meanwhile, Solange finds an unlikely ally in Kieran, a vampire slayer on the hunt for his father's killer.

Write Up Out Of Books My Love Lies Bleeding (Drake Chronicles #1)

Reviewed by Samantha Clanton aka "Harlequin Twilight" for TeensReadToo.comThe prophecy stated that the vampire tribes would be united under the rule of a daughter born to an ancient family. The Drakes are that family, and Solange is that daughter. Solange will change from being mortal to being vampire in a matter of days, on her sixteenth birthday. In the meantime, she's fighting off the "suitors" who are attracted by her lineage and pheromones, and the vampire hunters who are after her family.

My favourite Series!!! I was hooked the minute I opened this book!

When she is kidnapped, its up to her older brother Nicolas and her human best friend, Lucy, to save her. But can Lucy save herself from Nicholas, who tempts her with his every look? And what will be Solanges

This book is like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the Princess Diaries got married and had a beautiful, beautiful baby!Need more to love?How about: a fresh new vampire mythology, lush writing (I wanted to eat all the food and wear all the clothes), and totally engaging characters. I loved that, instead of being about a hot vampire princess and her stereotypical BFF sidekick (you know the type, slightly less pretty, kinda slutty, a staple of YA lit), it was a dual narrative between two best friends,

Hearts at Stake (aka: My Love Lies Bleeding) is the first book in The Drake Chronicles. It was an enjoyable read. Definitely had a G-rating, good for YA and "cute" for adults. The love interests are "girlfriend/boyfriend". Of course, that all makes sense when you consider that, even though the Drake family is one of the ancient families of vampires, the heroine, Solange, is just coming up on her sixteenth birthday. She has seven older brothers who are all extremely protective of her. Her mom

2.5 stars Meh.

Hearts at Stake is full of exciting characters with romance, wicked humor, and non-stop action packed into a spellbinding world of danger at every turn.When I first read the synopsis for Hearts at Stake, I couldnt wait to read it and Im so thrilled that it lived up to my expectations and then some. This book is one of those page turners that had me captivated with the world that Harvey created. I love the mythology of the different species of vampires that Harvey introduced in Hearts of Stake.
