About Kaitlyn Davis....

I've always been a writer. I grew up duct taping my novels together, started writing complete manuscripts in high school and studied creative writing at Johns Hopkins University. Upon graduating, I decided it was finally time to actually give my dream career a chance. So, of course, I started writing a young adult paranormal romance series -- and no, I'm not jumping on the bandwagon. I've been a true paranormal supporter for my entire life! I blame my obsession almost completely on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, my all-time favorite television show. And, before you ask: Yes, I own every season... even the post WB ones! I especially challenge anyone to watch the first three seasons and not fall in love with Angel, securing a lifelong love of vampires! Other culprits of my paranormal obsession are some of my favorite authors: JK Rowling, Cassandra Clare, Meg Cabot, Richelle Mead and Tamora Pierce.


P.S. I know it's technically Davis' and not Davis's, but I like the 's :)

Review, Ignite by Kaitlyn Davis for Tribute Book Tours


Title: Ignite (Midnight Fire #1)
Author: Kaitlyn Davis
Published: October 2011
Format: Ebook provided by Tribute books for review

"With one last look, one final search of the lines of his face for some sign, Kira turned and ran away from the sound of the man she loved laughing in the face of her death."

When Kira Dawson moves to South Carolina, she meets Luke, a blond goofball who quickly becomes her best friend, and Tristan, a mysterious bad boy who sends shivers down her spine. Kira knows they're keeping secrets, but when she discovers Tristan's lust for blood and her own dormant mystical powers, Kira is forced to fight for her life and make the heartbreaking decision between the familiar comfort of friendship and the fiery passion of love.

I absolutely loved this story.  Kira is the new girl at school.  She is kind of a foodie, cooking for her family gives her an escape and a way to touch base with herself.  She has dreams of going to culinary school – right after she takes a year off after graduation.  She has curly red hair, sometimes described as strawberry blonde, and some unusual eyes.  Right away at school she meets Luke, classic boy next door, All American type guy.  They become fast friends, and he introduces her to the rest of his group. 
But Kira soon discovers she’s garnered the attention of another group of kids at school, and they are… well, dark.  Meet Diana, John, Jerome and Tristan.  They seem oddly interested in her, always seemingly staring at her.  Especially that Tristan. 

Enter Tristan.  Broody, ice blue eyes, black hair, pale, built.  Oh yeah, I instantly love Tristan.  No mistake about it.  The guy has charisma and mystery and you want to get to know him better.  And so does Kira.  She finds herself performing surf stunts that are way out of her league in fact, just to pretend that she is not affected by him.  But she is.  Everyone is!  How can you not be!?!?

Then Kira’s life is threatened and the truth comes out about who, no, what she is.  She is a conduit.  Basically it means that she can channel the sun.  Well, why would someone want to do that?  To kill vampires, of course!  (Disclaimer: The author of this blog, Liz, does not in any way endorse the killing of vampires)  And here’s the rub, her new boyfriend – Tristan – just happens to be a vampire!! Yikes, talk about relationship drama.  Luckily she has Luke there to help her through it. But let’s not leave Luke out in the cold, the classic boy next door also happens to be a conduit!  Soon Kira learns that she is a hybrid of sorts, and her very existence could mean the end of the world!

Ok, those are the facts.  Now lets go with the feelings.  I really liked this story!!  It had a very different spin on the vampire slayer twist.  And not all conduits want to kill vampires, some want to protect them. This little secret society that has been around forever is very interesting and fresh.

Ok ladies, let me get back to the real meat of it.  Tristan.  Holy moody hot guy, he is wonderful.  Sure, he’s over a century old, but you can’t hold that against him.  I love how he always appears from nowhere, and I am definitely “Team Tristan”.  He is deep and sensitive, and he has this never bottoming love for Kira.  He’s everything I look for in a YA Vampire Heart-throb.  Even if their relationship is ultimately doomed I am rooting for them every step of the way.

But then we have something really dangerous approaching – an eclipse; the one time when conduits are unable to channel the sun.  And someone has Kira on their list.  The characters are well developed and I easily became attached to some and afraid of others. I found the action in this book to be awesome and scary.  The enemies are formidable and not easy targets.  This book was a real page turner, and I couldn’t wait to keep reading onto book 2, Simmer, which I have a review for up next.  So scroll up and check it out!  This series really has potential to become a fantastic series, and I can’t wait to see how it all pans out.
