Like most seventeen year olds, Ridley Heller thought she had her future all planned out. What she wanted most in life was to get out of small town Harker. Her only goal was to keep her mouth shut and her grades high so she could win a cheerleading scholarship to Stanford. But that was before she met Bo.
In Ridley’s wildest dreams, she could never have planned for someone like Bo, for a love so intense it left her breathless. No human girl could.
A haunting stranger that watched her from afar, Bo stole Ridley’s heart from the moment she laid eyes on him. But he has secrets. Bo’s a vampire. Both his past and his present are a danger to Ridley, but the biggest threat is not her blood; it’s her heart. He’s feeding a thirst for revenge that will cost him his life, and it may already be too late.
The more darkness Ridley uncovers, the more she realizes that her life will never be the same—with or without Bo. Can she sacrifice her future and her heart for someone who has a death wish?
About Michelle I love coffee and chocolate, even more so when they are combined. I'm convinced that one day they could be the basis for world peace. I also love the color red and am seriously considering dying my hair.
Blood Like Poison For the Love of a Vampire Blood Like Poison Series Book 1 edition by M Leighton Paranormal Romance eBooks
There are things I really enjoyed in this book but that said, the storyline isn't tight and it's obvious enough that it's something that really ended up bothering me. For example, when Ridley gets into a car accident with Drew, Bo is the one to call the ambulance. He tells Ridley to tell the first responders that she was the one who called the accident in. The thing is, the first responders would know that a male called the accident in (not to mention that he would have had to give his name but that's a moot point considering) and they would have questioned Ridley as to who or where the missing man was since she was the only conscious party on the scene (Drew was unconscious the entire time) but this glitch was not discussed. Another example: when Trinity pulls a nasty stunt on Ridley, Ridley thinks to herself something to the effect that, "she knew Trinity was mean but she had no idea she was capable of doing something THAT terrible." But then several chapters later when Ridley is thinking back about that event, her thought process is a complete 180. When Ridley is looking back on that "stunt", she remembers the stunt as being mild. It's these types of disconnects that pulled me out of the story and it happens many times in this book. The end result is a storyline that lacks attention to detail and it makes it feel contrived at times. There were also a moderate amount of typos. Better editing would have prevented both these problems to the betterment of what is otherwise a very good story.As an aside, I really didn't like the heroine, but I didn't knock stars for this. She was borderline tstl. She was extremely reactive/volatile in unfair ways and I often felt sorry for Bo in the early parts of this story because of her. She also often has to have things really spelled out for her to understand a concept and that got old. I want a heroine I can really stand behind but Ridley is more like the friend you have who you call friend but are often annoyed with and you wouldn't lose sleep over it if she moved to another town.
One final note...I was once told that if anyone ever tells you they're no good for you (Bo does this to Ridley, often), take it at face value and run far, far away. I wish I had been given that advice much earlier in my life than I had. It would have saved me a terrible relationship or two over the years and a lot of dumb/immature shenanigans. I think for some people this character flaw makes for a great hero but it tends to be a turn off for me.
The bottom line? I really think this book needs to go through another draft or two of editing. That said, I believe in the storyline enough that I'm going to continue on with book two. Hopefully some of the problems I mentioned above will get ironed out as the story progresses. Recommended, but with reservations.

Blood Like Poison For the Love of a Vampire Blood Like Poison Series Book 1 edition by M Leighton Paranormal Romance eBooks Reviews
I really enjoyed this book, it was different then many vampire books I have read which was a nice surprise. I love Bo and him with Ridley was perfect. Ridley lived two lives, one of the dedicated student trying to make it through high school just to be able to go off to college and leave her home and the town behind her. The second life of a girl hiding her true self in order to make her college life come true, a girl that is alone, tortured by the death of her sister, made to take care of her alcoholic mother and absent father. I saw Ridley as being such a strong girl trying to just get through each day until her real life could start, many times in this book I cried because of how she was treated by her mother and the deep loss she felt for her sister. It was interesting the new characters we got to meet in this first book, Lucius who is great and Lars who is evil. A revelation that came about surrounding the night of the car accident that took Ridley's sister from this earth was shocking but made some things more clear. The attack at the end was crazy and all that happened was not expected and of course it was heartbreaking then the author leaves us with an Epilogue that gives her readers some hope, can't wait to read the next book.
"Yes, life is all about pain and trouble and frustration and anger, but it's also about love and friendship and good days and sunshine. You can't have one without the other. If you avoid pain, you avoid living."
A new twist on Vampires.
Ridley Heller is in her last year of high school. She only has to continue to be who she is until she gets her scholarship to Stanford. All of the torture of pretending is worth it as long as she gets into Stanford. That's her mission, get through Nine months. Nine months of pretending to get along with the schools evil queen, one year of putting up with her fake friends, Nine months of dating the quarterback that doesn't make her feel anything. Just Nine months. That will be easy. But Ridley Heller is oh so wrong...
Jonathan Bowman AKA Bo cannot take his eyes off of Ridley she finds herself feeling all "tingly". It doesn't matter that her friends think he's a stalker. He isn't to Ridley. He can't be. He's gorgeous and makes her feel like the only girl in the world. His words make her melt like butter. But Ridley is about to find out that Bo is so much more...
Bo is a Vampire. And he's dying...
Can Ridley save the man that she has fallen in love with? Or will she be too late... Read Blood like Poison to find out!
From the first sentence M. Leighton sucks you right in. You do go in thinking it is probably another Twilight knockoff but then you find out how so wrong you are. Ridley Heller is nothing like Bella Swan. But Bo does make you swoon like Edward Cullen. ) This is a whole new twist to vampires that will keep you enthralled.
I enjoyed reading this book and can't wait to see what is in store for Ridley and Bo. You are left with so many unanswered questions and a sad ending, which makes you want to jump right into the next book in the series. I'm so glad that I found this series when it was done instead of having to wait long excruciating months for the next.
Why the 4 Star Rating? Only because I felt Bo was a little distant in this book and wished we had gotten to see him and Ridley get to know each other better. And because honestly, all they did was make out most of the time. With that said, I still enjoyed it!
This is my second book from Ms. Leighton and completely opposite of her contemporary masterpiece, Fragile, which makes you realize that she has the amazing talent of crafting Contemporary Romance as well as Paranormal Romance.
If you want to read a new twist on Vampires and romance, pick up this book!
