Inside the Book:
Kaitlin Mayer is on the run from the father of her baby – a vampire who wants her to join him in deadly eternity. Terrified for her young son, she seeks sanctuary with the Hunters Guild. Yet they have their own plans for her son, and her hopes of safety are soon shattered.
When she runs into Matthew Blair, an old nemesis with an agenda of his own, she dares to hope for a new escape. But Matthew is a telepath, and Kaitlin's past is full of dark secrets she never intended to reveal.

My Thoughts:
You
always hear the saying “never judge a book by its cover”. And I learned my lesson with this one. I thought this was going to be a book told in
the first person but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn’t. It’s just that this is her story. One of her characters is named Cassie. If you haven’t read this author’s work
before, you will need to check out her Cassie
Scot Series.
In
this book, you get the impression that the vampires are the bad guys. They are not romanticized. Kaitlin is led to believe that her “husband”
hasn’t changed but for one little thing.
But his personality begins to change and once that happens Kaitlin
realizes she needs to do what is best for her child. Matthew Blair is a man of many talents. And Kaitlin hopes that he will be the man to
help her.
This
was the first book that I read of Ms. Amsden and I finished with a question,
“why haven’t I read her work before”? I
thoroughly enjoyed her writing style and had no trouble picturing the scenes as
they played out. I also finished knowing
that I had to continue reading her work.
The ending gave me mixed feelings because I couldn’t tell if we will see
these characters again.
Some
people love to read on their e-readers and others are still old school. I’m one that’s in between. I like reading on my e-reader but I still
love to have a book in my hand where it doesn’t take any type of electricity in
order to turn the page. My e-reader is
on its last legs and it doesn’t make for an enjoyable read. But I was lucky enough to have the paperback
edition of Kaitlin’s Tale. I had no trouble tuning everything out and
just concentrate on what I was reading.
This is an author that I would continue going old fashioned whenever I
pick up one of her titles.
