Saved Summary
In SAVED (Book #1 of the Shadow Vampires), Keira and Amanda, twins, move with their family to a new town, and start their senior year at a new high school. But though they are twins, the girls have different fates. Amanda, beautiful, popular, is sought out by everyone. Keira, who has always lived in Amanda's shadow, is smaller, awkward, different. Even her mother, who is so close to Amanda, doesn't know what to make of her other daughter. Keira turns to books, and to her journal, for solace, and to find out about other worlds.
Amanda makes friends easily at the new school, and quickly finds a boyfriend, while Keira is left alone, an outsider. But very quickly, it is clear that something strange is going on in Everstock. The town and the school are very divided. The popular, rich kids act as if they own the school and have nothing to do with the other kids, who are poorer and live in a different part of town. Not only are the kids meaner here, but an unknown infection has gripped the town, with more and more people going to the hospital. Something here is terribly wrong.
But things change suddenly, as there is a terrible accident involving the twins. Not only are Keira and Amanda's lives changed forever, but a new dimension of life begins to open to Keira.
As Keira recovers, she begins to change in ways she can't expect, receiving new and mysterious powers that no one can possibly understand. At the same time, a gorgeous, mysterious new boy, Cooper, appears at the school, who grips her imagination, and who refuses to tell her what secret he is hiding.
As Keira and Cooper grow closer to each other, it soon becomes apparent that destiny has brought them together-and that they may each have to sacrifice it all if they want to stay together...

Summary from Goodreads
My Review
I found this book to be very intriguing it really kept me on the edge of my seat. There was nothing that I disliked about this book, it had it all-romance, suspense, vampires and even a love triangle. I thought that the book had a well thought-out plot and characters. I the character that I liked the most in this book was Brooke’s best friend, Kaitlynn because she stood by Brooke throughout everything she was going through at the time, I mean finding out that your best friend is half vampire would freak me out a little but, not Kaitlynn she stood by Brooke like a best friend would. I also liked the character Mirko, who helped Brooke once she found out she was half vampire. The character I least liked in the was Jaren because in my own opinion I felt there was no chemistry between Brooke and Jaren at first I thought there might have been some but, then I met Mirko. With that said, TEAM MIRKO! I can’t wait for the next book in this series. I think young adult girls will adore this book. So please pick up your copy today.
