Infinite Days by Rebecca Maizel
"'Throughout all my histories, I found no one I loved more than you...no one.'

Those were some of Rhode's last words to me. The last time he would pronounce his love. The last time I would see his face. It was the first time in 592 years I could take a breath. Lay in the sun. Taste. Rhode sacrificed himself so I, Lenah Beaudonte, could be human again. So I could stop the blood lust. I never expected to fall in love with someone else that wasn't Rhode. But Justin was...daring. Exciting. More beautiful than I could dream. I never expected to be sixteen again...then again, I never expected my past to come back and haunt me..."- summary from Amazon

I absolutely loved this book and thought it was so original. Maizel storms onto the YA scene with a fang-tastically (I couldn't resist) written debut. This book really took me off-guard and I found it hard to put the book down. Lenah is such an interesting character and I loved the back and forth of her in present day and her when she was a vampire in past times. I really enjoyed seeing those looks into her old life.

The boys in this book are all amazing- I pretty much loved them all. Rhode, Tony, and Justin are all fine male specimens. I think out of all of them, I loved Tony the most because he's so funny and carefree, and I love that in a guy. But I did also enjoy Lenah's attraction to Justin. He proved to be more than just a jock, and I really liked his deeper nature when it came to Lenah. Maizel did a great job fleshing these characters out.

The ending was very cinematic and I absolutely loved it, but having the teaser of the second book at the end kinda softened the blow a bit, so I didn't really like that. But if you ignore that, the book ends on a very big cliffhanger.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and it's an impressive debut. Definitely check it out if you're looking for a new kind of vampire read.
