Forced to make friends with Eddy, the man who has made her life miserable for years, she bides her time until a rescue can be arranged.But unrealized feelings for her vampire captor make things complicated.

The truth of her involvement is becoming clear, but she may lose more than her freedom in her quest to stop the the powerful undead on her own.
Review
I don't know how to describe the feelings I am having about all of this. I mean thank God it's not the conclusion but LeKrista is not gone. I just don't believe that. I think she is the hunter at the end -- just my opinion because I cannot accept her being gone.LeKrista is such a strong character. She is snarky, powerful and rich in commentary. She always speaks her mind even when she's in danger and I loved it so much. I couldn't really stand Roman. He lost more respect from me because of how he let things go and get out of control. Even more so because he had foreseen the end for LeKrista and did nothing to save her. I think him kidnapping her is why she ended up dead in the first place. I feel bad that Pierce couldn't save her -- it sucks to lose his girlfriend of almost six years who was now his fiance. Unbelievable. Eddy definitely got more points for me because even though he knew what Roman did and agreed it was wrong he tried to make her feel as much "at home" and they built a friendship.
I'm just in awe of how this ended off and I honestly need the next book! ASAP.

Synopsis:
LeKrista Scott has killed a vampire, and now his lover wants revenge. If only that were the worst of her problems.
Roman, a two thousand year old vampire, has set his eye on LeKrista and it doesn't seem to bother him that she already has a boyfriend. To add insult to injury, it is his attentions that have brought the wrath of one of his own down on her head. After months of watching her from the shadows, the angry vampire finally attacks, but when LeKrista eliminates him it only brings more trouble.
LeKrista must find someone to trust as she runs for her life. Will it be Roman or does he have some underhanded reason for keeping her alive?
My Rating: ★★★★
Review
Scorned was a magnificent start to the LeKrista Scott, Vampire Hunted trilogy. Tyffani Clark Kemp did such an amazing job with this YA Paranromal novel. There is a balance of romance, killing and drama which makes it all amazing. I love vampires so this was just an automatic good novel for me.One my favorite lines from the book is from Pierce: "So, Roman is a vampire pimp daddy man whore?" LMFAO -- just priceless! That basically describes Roman to a T. I couldn't stop laughing when he asked LeKrista that.
LeKrista was definitely an awesome female lead protagonist. She was snarky, bold and confident. She had her moments where she felt weak, but when she snapped out of it she was capable of kicking butt. Her attraction to Roman seems to have to do with him having access to her mind and her powers as a mage. I don't think she is seriously attracted to him as she is with Pierce.
Roman is a mysterious guy to me. I'm still trying to figure out if he loves LeKrista,wants to harm or just wants her for the power she has. It's all so shifty with him. Roman is the kind of guy that's sweet on the eyes, but you'd never want to mess with him because he has so many dark secrets and refuses to tell you the truth. Roman is has no points from me, even though from time to time he has chivalrous moments.
Pierce is such a sweetheart, but finding out that there is more to him (being a paranormal creature) is crazy. The fact that he can't tell her until they are married and have sex is crazy. Through everything LeKrista went through he was always there for her and never stayed upset, even when he knew Roman's intentions to break them up. I love Pierce and he has my vote over Roman! I mean five years with LeKrista has to count for something.
Eddy and his girls being shapeshifters is insane. I honestly didn't see that coming. All the hostility between them and LeKrista makes so much sense now. I hope things hash out even more between them.
Perdita and Lucretious. pissed me off. Lucretious is a jerk. Killing LeKrista to get to his maker, Roman, made no sense. I know Roman disposed of his first love Vivian, but it seems like he was doing the same. He should have just left LeKrista alone. All his advances to try and kill her never succeeded. He did get a few good injuries in, but ultimately he failed and cost his own life. Perdita is a straight queen bee. I understand she lost her lover, but killing others to turn them and trying to kill LeKrista was just a fail just like her lover.
Excited for Hunted and to see if LeKrista agrees to the marriage proposal, if Pierce reveals what he is and how things go with Roman.

Review
LeKrista was awesome and kickass once again. She squared off with those vampires and never backed down. Even when her family was in danger. It sucks that her family was dragged into this mess. Especially Dante, her brother -- I felt bad for him. Finding out that her mother wasn't crazy and her bloodline was all so enlightening because now there's a better understanding to her seizures and her visions.Pierce is still a mystery. I am dying to know what he is and why it has to be secret? I love how territorial he gets towards the other males in the book, but he over does it with the whole Alex thing. That scene in the hotel where he was trying to teach her to keep her shield up…ummm…I literally had to re-read that twice because it confused me like hell. I mean it was a very smart way to teach her, but at the same time I was thinking "damn. Pierce is one sexual paranormal being" lmfao! For him to not want to have sex, he sure did overstep that line a bit.
Roman still pisses me off. His love for LeKrista is overdone and he needs to simply fall back. I hate how he acts, but I love that she learned to block him from her mind. His reaction was pure shock. I think Roman should just be happy with his harem and leave LeKrista alone with Pierce.
All these damn vamps after her is crazy. I mean is solely because she is supposed to be the next ArchMage? I mean even the head ArchMage wants her dead.
This ended on a sick note with Roman kidnapping her. I mean really Roman? Was it seriously that damn necessary?
