Description

<p>Maria hits the streets of New York in search of the love denied by her alcoholic father and indifferent mother. When Sergio, a dark, worldly stranger, lures her with diamonds, brand-name clothing, and undivided attention, Maria sees a way out of her dysfunctional home. Seduced by Sergio’s charm and the promise of wealth and recognition, Maria ignores her panicked intuition and wanders into his lair.<br /><br />But in a world where ambition and deception go hand in hand, where dreams are shattered and innocence crushed, Maria discovers she’s trapped in a hell much worse than the one she left. And now, there is no escape. The price for betrayal is blood.<br /><br />Destiny intervenes when Maria meets Christian, a handsome law student haunted by a dark family secret. With her life at risk and time running out, will Maria find the strength to save herself and convince Christian to go against all reason and risk everything to help her?</p>

Each fairly short chapter focuses on a different character, and there are several additional people we meet, primarily students intertwined in the events surrounding Tristen and Marcella. From Skye, the very cool, totally awesome vampire masquerading as a student, to the downright nasty Pietro, there are lots of personalities who share the pages and keep the story moving. We're also given a look at Marcella's backstory which adds a nice depth to the tale. </span><br style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:20px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);" /> </p> <div style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:20px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">Quill says: If you love vampire stories, you should check out <i>Surviving Curtis Hall</i> for a unique and fun trip down some dark and creepy tunnels, sprinkled with just the right amount of romance.-Ellen Feld- Feathered Quill Reviews</div> <div style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:20px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"> </div> <div style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:20px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"><a href="http://www.featheredquillblog.com/" style="color:rgb(255,255,255);">eathFea</a><span style="font-family:Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:22px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);"> If you have a longing for adventure; “Surviving Curtis Hall: The Lure of Blood” is a perfect fit.
