See all formats and editions

An urban fantasy/paranormal romance.

Life for Clover Kwon couldn’t be much worse. A year has passed since she witnessed the brutal death of her boyfriend, Frankie, and even with the help of a therapist she is unable to come to terms with what she saw that night. It doesn’t help matters that her mother is a raging alcoholic, her father is a philanderer and everyone in her hometown thinks she’s crazy. And she’s apt to believe them.
Jared Van Clayborne seems to have it all. He is a gorgeous, newly-turned vampire, an heir to a fortune and his mentor, Sutton, is the daughter of Dracula. On the inside, he’s a mess. Atrocities he’s committed in the past year torture his thoughts, he is miserably failing high school and has no hope for the future. Jared is forced into counseling, but because he must keep his vampirism a secret, it hasn’t helped.
Jared makes a desperate decision one night, but fate brings him face to face with Clover, a girl he had a crush on when they were in elementary school. A passionate magnetism draws them to one another. They both have secrets, but find solace in each other’s arms.
When Clover uncovers the dark truth about Chapel Green’s inhabitants she is torn between vengeance and love for her greatest enemy. Now, not only is her sanity at stake, but also her life.

Summer’s Deadly Kiss is book one in The Vampire Inheritance Saga.

Warning - This books contains sex, violence, bad language, and hot vampires.

Complex and Erotic Paranormal Romance

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2014

Verified Purchase

What seems to be an ordinary romance on the surface actually has dark, erotic secrets at its core. Clover has been traumatized by the loss of her boyfriend, an event that she witnessed and that she is unable to come to term with. When she encounters Jared, a newly-turned vampire, she is vulnerable to his charms and sexual chemistry. But Clover is determined to find out the truth behind her boyfriend’s death, putting herself and those she loves in jeopardy.

This is a new adult paranormal romance, and a highly-charged erotic one at that, on one level, and a mystery on another. Its themes are quite adult, but all lovers of vampire fiction will be drawn to the intricate story and the layered characters, all of whom have their secrets. The relationship between Clover and Jared, in particular, is very real and is what holds the story together. The sexual chemistry and danger that is between them is almost palpable as you read, making this a hard book to put down! I've found that books in this genre are often more concerned with elaborate plots than in character development, but this has both an exciting (especially at the end) plot and complex characters. Engrossing, well written and inventive, this is a vampire tale and much more. Highly recommended.

While I enjoyed the story

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2014

Having mostly read more zombie apocalypse books I decided to venture off and try something different. This book's description seemed to stand out and decided to give it a shot. While I enjoyed the story, it took a bit of getting settled into where it was headed. The first few chapters jumped around from scene to scene and I found myself lost, never really knowing the characters all that well. I stuck with it and did enjoy the book overall once I became accustomed to the author's writing style.

For those that love vampire saga's I'd recommend this one.

Once again I have found a good book in this story. I found it hard to put it down until the end.

While there were definite elements to this story that I enjoyed, and twists that I didn't expect, it felt like the writer was unsure about their target audience. There were elements that came across as aimed at young adult, as well as elements that came across as adult audiences only. The main characters have great potential, but are limited in their scope. There are more books in the series so maybe further down the road things even out, but as for the first book, though there were parts I thoroughly enjoyed, a more streamlined approach to audience would have made it a much more enjoyable read.

Loved this book. I liked that the lead, Clover, stayed true to herself;her convictions, at that moment in her life, rather than givenin to her heart. After all she had gone through, the journey of self healing, finally discovering what she wanted for herself, was most important. If she hadn't I would have been disappointed. It would have "felt" too soon.in the storyline!

Well written and well worth the money

At first, I did not feel that excited by this book, but I kept on reading it, and soon enough, I did not want to put it down! Once you get to know the characters better, you will want to continue. The book is indeed long, but it is well written and well worth the money! The first book I read by Cate Farren and I can recommend it!

I am a major sucker for paranormal romances with humans mixed up with vampires, werewolves, and more. Care Farren satiates all of my desires when it comes to this topic. I am hooked, I will be a fan for life. I can't wait to see where this series goes. Cate makes me love every character, even the villains, I just have to know how their stories end.

An anemic (in every sense of the word) romance.

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is my first review so I'll make it short and "sweet":
The chemistry between the characters borders on non-existent and the dialogue seems written by an inexperienced and unfocused teenager. I rarely have troubles finishing mediocre romance novels, but this one bored me to pieces; It seems to me that the author had too much focus on getting through the plot and forgot to knit the characters and their worlds together. With that said I really liked the idea of this book though sadly it fell through in most areas.

Brilliant story

Had this book for a while and decided to finally read it. I couldn't put it down till I finished it. Wasn't what I was expecting but was really interesting. It is a romantic supernatural novel. Only thing is the story continues in book 2 which you have to buy although can be read on is own. It's about a girl called Clover who fell in love with a vampire. Also half of the town are all supernatural beings. Witches,werewolves,demons and vampires all appear to live in this town .Quite interesting. Can't wait to read part 2.

not for me

I am always looking for good vampire reads, unfortunately, Summer's deadly kiss is not one of them, far from it. You know those really cheesy horror movies you can't look away from no matter how bad they are, well Summer's deadly kiss was just like that. I love my fiction to take me away to new places but this story wasn't even close to taking me anywhere there was nothing I liked about it at all.

It was really good. Kept me wanting to find out what came next.
