Kenzie Gilbert is dead. Gone is the mute, depressed teenage girl she was before she met Stefan Salvatore. Left behind was the young woman she became, who is crazy in love and co-dependent on her green-eyed boyfriend. What stood between them was his vampirism and her mortality. But for no longer. The last thing Kenzie remembered was her deja-vu accident, the car she was in with Matt, crashed on the same bridge her parents went over before plummeting into the quarry and drowning. Just like that time, Kenzie survives. When she shouldn't. Stefan didn't jump in and save her this time. Instead, the vampire blood running to her veins did. Now she's a vampire herself and everyone, including herself is struggling to come to terms with it. Stefan is working on a secret plan that has Kenzie feeling rejected and neglected. Her siblings can't bear to be near her and her friends are just as uncomfortable with the way she's changed. While Damon seems to be the only one there for her. His eyes seem to sparkle and his smirk starts ooze sexiness. Everything is changing. Cures are revealed, sire bonds make another appearance, the originals settle in town, and another curse rears its ugly head. Kenzie and Elena have finally spread their wings, and started separate paths. Elena's path to become a teenage statistic is opposite of Kenzie's path to embrace life as the vampire twin. ~BOOK 4 OF 8~
