I just gotta ask..... Where are all these good ratings coming from??? I bought this book for .99 cents for my Kindle and unlike MOST other books for that price the price is fitting for this one. I'm not fond of giving bad reviews however I want to prevent others from wasting their time. I may not have been so harsh in my rating if I had not relized that I have previously read a book from the same author. That one fell flat as well. The romance is ridiculous and un-believable, the plot didnt seem...

Vampires with a sweet twist.I love vamp novels just like the next person but these days it seems as though every one of them is the same form of either morbid sex or lolly la I'm a vampire but I'm so sweet and let's be wonderful friends. This book was awesome. A perfect balance of sweet and sour, of hard and soft, of on and off. The characters are realistic and not annoying in their choices nor their behaivor. Ridley is down to earth and very likable. And Bo is someone you can take home to mamma...

Sorry to say, but this book was horrible. There was no substance. The writing was so juvenile, I felt as though I wrote this book. I am not a writer by any means and would never consider myself one, but this book was written like I would write. It started off like it was a spin off from Twilight and I couldn't shake the feeling the whole time I was reading it. It was no where near as good as Twilight, but it seems as though the author was trying to go for the same depth Twilight offered but fail...

I haven't enjoyed a vampire book like this since Twilight, and if you thought Edward was cute just wait until you meet Bo! Ridley has the envied life at school. She is captain of the cheer squad, her boyfriend is the quarterback, and she has a spot at the cool table. But that is all a facade for the life she has at home. When tragedy strikes her family, her mom becomes a drunk and her dad is absent, and Ridley is left with nothing but the hope of getting out! Until...She meets her stalker. Once

First, I would like to express that I am a Twilighter. Always have been, always will be. Cold hard truth: Every YA vampire book for the rest of eternity is going to be compared to Twilight. It is what it is. Let’s say Twilight was an apple. This book would be an orange. Same family, equally delicious, but completely and totally different. Three years ago, Ridley and her sister were driving and a dear jumped out in front of them. Ridley made it, her sister didn’t. Her family is falling apart and

What a nice surprise this book turned out to be. At first I thought "oh no not another Twilight spin-off" but as I got further into the book it became clear that this was a vampire book with a different take on the genre.Ridley is quite a gutsy h and I really liked her, captain of the cheerleader team just trying to get through college so that when she graduates it will enable her to move far away from her broken home.After a terrible car accident that takes the life of sister Izzy she has to co...

5/29/13 - Currently free on Amazon!!! http://amzn.com/B004XJ555O I liked this series. If you're in the mood for PNR I tots recommend it.

This book was actually pretty darn good. I was a little worried from what people were saying about it being just a rip off of twilight, but it really wasn't. I do see where some people were saying that, because I mean, you have a vampire who captivates this girl, and she is totally taken with him and his mysterious self. But the whole story line is different, with different problems and a different love.I really liked the problems that were faced in this book. Of all the vampire books I have rea...

This book was amazing. By far one of the most creative vampire stories out there. Not only were the characters real but they had my attention from the get go. I found myself completely wrapped up in their lives and wanting to know more about them, even the bad guys.I can't wait to read the sequel and just hope that I won't have to wait too long for the last book to come out. I can already tell that I will be waiting on pins and needles to see what happens next. Leighton is a truly talented autho...

So first of all, for everyone who thinks this book is exactly like Twilight, or can even be compared, you're wrong. Did you even read the book? Ok yes, there is a vampire who falls in love with a human girl, but that is where the similarities end. The main vampire male, Bo, actually has flaws and inner demons. The main girl Ridley, actually has a personility and isn't totally helpless. I could list several other reasons why this book is nothing like Twilight but then I would give the whole thing...

I loved Blood Like Poison!! I am going to blow through this series as fast as Ms. Leighton puts them out!Yes, Blood Like poison is similar to Twilight in SOME ways. Much more so towards the beginning of the book. But as you get deeper into the story, you will find that Ms. Leighton has her own ideas and unique take on her vampires and the lives they lead.You will absolutely fall in love with Bo and Ridley. They are a sweet and lovable couple. Their characters are well developed and their relatio...

Anyone who love vampire books should pick up this book and read it today. I will admit that I was a little nervous at first, because there seemed to be a couple of similiarities to Twilight. But I read it anyway and trust me, Ms. Leighton delivers. The characters of Bo and Ridley are likeable (in fact, I think I'm a little in love with Bo) and realistic. Dialogue is natural and witty and pacing is spot-on. With a rich imagination, she brings in elements of vampirism that I had never heard of bef...

review is on www.booknerdsacrossamerica.comI have become the biggest M. Leighton fan! Between the Madly series, The Wild Ones and now this series I cannot believe how much I am loving M. Leighton' stories! She is an author that knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat. More than once in this book was I given a #BookNerdHeartAttack !Best part of book: BO! Bo is the best part of this book. Hot, young and caring vampire is how I would describe Bo. Oh, did I forget to mention he is HOT! Well,

M. Leighton creates an enticing sexy romance between Ridley and Bo. This isn't your average vampire romance but creates a new mythology that I haven't encountered before. Bo is the most amazing hero who is intense, romantic and protective. Bo takes Ridley's life by storm upsetting her carefully planned escape from her life where she is just biding her time until she can escape her small town to Stanford. Ridley's life is very pretend and she seems to just keep going through the motions with her

I was unsure in after the first couple of chapters I was thinking this was a Twilight redo, BUT I was wrong! This book went somewhere completley different....Don't get me wrong, there's still un-dying love and a girl who thinks she's undeserving...but somewhere after the first chapter it turned on me. I couldn't put it down....what was Bo going to do? How would Trinity get revenge? Was Drew giving up with out a fight? All my questions had to answered before I put the book down....then M, Leighto...

For the first third of this book I kept imagining the reviews that I might read of this book. I'm sure there would be some out there who would dismiss this book as simply being a Twilight knock-off, and to be sure, there are a few similarities in plot between the two stories. However, to be perfectly fair, this book is very different from the Twilight story, and I enjoyed it immensely. I should start off with full disclosure to say that I am a Twilight fan, but I have grown to see a few big flaw...

I picked up For the Love of a Vampire: Blood Like Poison because it happened to be free on Amazon and I have a kindle app on my phone. Not to mention that M. Leighton is a pretty fabulous person. But up until this moment, I had yet to read anything thing by her. And the minute I dived into this book I knew I would have to read more of her stuff. I mean for goodness sake...she referenced Keith Stone and Damon Salvatore in the same stinkin sentence. Yep, a woman after my own heart.This vampire sto...

This book is highly typical of any vampire/human romance books I've ever read; where the girl is incredibly drawn to the mysteriously dark, brooding newcomer. So the story proceeds on like it should, wherein I fought off the urge to call it a Twilight copycat. But as I delve deeper into the story, I found that For the Love of a Vampire has its unique twists on the legends and the myths of this highly overused breed of monsters in the literary mainstream.Ridley's been going through life like a dr...

First off goodreads gotta increase the rating system to 10 stars .. Five stars kinda seem too low !! Anywho's , THIS BOOK IS DEFINITELY ADDICTIVE !!! I started reading this in the morning and i just couldnt put it down ..

It did make me wanna cry at some points , but it was totally worth it .. OMG , the hotness tht is BO ( totally sw...

Love this story! Don't be fooled by the girl-meets-vampire description, it doesn't take long to realize that this book is not like any other vampire story! There are twists & turns you can't even imagine. I love the beautiful romance between Ridley and Bo! And there is never a dull moment, something always seems to be lurking up ahead for them. And there's just not enough I can say about Bo, he's dreamy, dangerous, & absolutely perfect. I love Ridley, too, she's confident & caring. She learns qu...
