My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

I love paranormal books and this one was great! I really liked the story and the characters in this book, it really came together nicely. It was nice and refreshing to see the main character of Lila being obsessed with vampire romance and then bam, she is in one. That was new for me and was really intriguing to watch.

Lila and Adam are a great pairing. I feel like anyone in a situation with vampires would have a hard time figuring out who to trust and watching Lila and Adam’s relationship develop was nice. Their romance is beautiful. The secondary characters were amazing as well. They provided some comic relief every now and again.

This book was full of suspense, romance and a lot of wondering what will happen next. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves paranormal romance, and can’t wait to see more from this author.

Obsessed (Lila Casey Series, book one)
By J. Collins
4 out of 5 stars

Obsessed is the first book I’ve read by this author and despite no prior knowledge, I couldn’t pass it up. I am a sucker for a good vampire story.
Overall, I did enjoy the book and will be looking forward to reading more from this author. There were ups and downs without the story for me, times that I loved the book and other times I felt like there was something just “off” for me.
Obsessed ended up being one of those books that I did read pretty quickly, not one that you let sit and “get back to”. I guess with that being said I would say there were way more good aspects than bad!
If you’re looking for a fun, vampire read that really will make you smile, I do recommend giving this a try.

Obsessed by J Collins is my first book by this author. She kept my interest throughout her story. This is a paranormal vampire story. J Collins has a new way of spinning her story about her vampires. It is a fun read when you do not see the same topic of vampires over and over. J Collins amazingly spins a great tale in a vampire world. Her character Lila has found vampire fiction interesting. She was able to get a way within her book covers until Adam, a real vampire meets up with her. Adam takes Lila into the world of vampires where everything starts to become real. Will Adam be able to protect Lila or will a dark vampire take her away?

I give Obsessed: Lila Casey Book 1 (Lila Casey Series) by J. Collins, 4 stars.

Lila was trying to fight her fear of heights by climbing the stairs in an office building she’s fascinated with. Before she heads back down, she has a panic attack and flees to the closest place to sit down. These aren’t her type of people, but she doesn’t care about that. There she runs into a man whom she can’t stop thinking about. She loves vampire romance and fiction books, is that why she thought she saw fangs? But this is the least of her worries. Turns out there is something even worse after her. Can Adam help her or should she just give up now?

I really enjoyed this book. Lila is a fun, quirky character who really makes this book sensational. But a book can’t rely on that alone. Adam and the secondary characters add variety to this story. The storyline itself has lots of suspense and twists and turns along the way. Lila doesn’t know who to trust or just what to do. I could not put this book down and cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

If you like vampire fiction with a quirky main character, this book is for you.

J.Collins bring us Obsessed. This is a brand new author for me, and what a brilliant introduction it has been. I loved this book from start to finish, its a paranormal vampire read, which is one of my favourite genres to read. This read was suspenseful, it had danger and action and everything else you need for an epic vampire read!
This author has created a brilliant storyline with Lila & Adam as our brilliant characters. These characters totally made this book even more enjoyable as you couldn’t help but connect and like each character in their own certain way. I was engaged throughout and it kept me turning the pages, this is an author and series that I can’t wait to carry on reading. But until then I highly recommend you all to read this book!

4-Stars

Obsessed was a creative and fascinating paranormal romance novel. It has an easy storyline and easily Carrie’s the reader along. I loved Lila’s quirky personality and her habit of rambling. She was very entertaining and funny. Adam Drake began as a mysterious individual but I easily saw a different side of him as the story progressed. It was easy to notice the difference in culture of the main characters of what I expected when I first started reading. I loved that it was set in the UK and that the author brought out the typical dialogue and habits of individuals who live there. This was really a good read!

4 Stars

This is my first read by this author and I will say there were times I absolutely loved this book then it would move into parts that were just ok. The great parts overruled thank goodness.

I love a good vampire book, this one took me a bit to connect with, not sure what it was whether the characters or the actual story, but it picked up rather quickly and I loved the unique storyline. I definitely fell in love with the “be careful what you wish for” kind of idea and all of the vampires drew me in immediately, well almost all of them LOL

I will be interested in reading more from this series and did enjoy the flow of this story, I laughed out loud so many times and I love a book that can do that for me.

Awesome

I really enjoyed this book! The cover isn’t much to look at in all honesty but the story was a great read! I found I was easily hooked in to what was going on and I read it in one sitting. It was a good opening book to this series and I am looking forward to seeing where the author takes it! I liked that I had to take a bit of time to get to know and understand the main character Lila; she definitely matured as the story progressed.
The author brought a little bit of humour to the story which I wasn’t expecting but really enjoyed! The pace and flow of the story was really good and I found it very easy to read – the authors attention to detail was also great. I could imagine YA and paranormal romance readers really enjoying this story.
I am definitely really looking forward to reading more from this series and seeing how the characters develop even more!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Obsessed (Lila Casey Series Book 1) by J Collins is a great and an enjoyable read. It is a unique vampire story that was fun and made me laugh but there was also a moment of high emotions. J’s take on the vampires was new and original and did a good job in making it a story that holds your attention right to the last page. The romance it a little steamy and I enjoyed the characters and their unique quirkiness.

Lila was a little strange, she had anxieties and was very hyper and her inner dialogue had me laughing out loud and was obsessed with vampires. What happens when faced with the reality of her dreams and she learns there are true monsters?

Adam is hot and sexy and living a life alone that is until one unusual and quirky woman graces his presence and he can’t get her out of his mind. She is nothing like anything he has met in his whole life. How can he help the woman he has come to love and keep her from the hands of evil.

I look forward to more of this series

This is definitely a quick read, full of just plain old vampire fun. If you are a fantasy/vampire lover, you will enjoy this entertaining page turner. I found it to be engaging, frustrating, quick. Some parts were predictable and other parts just left me smiling. I like the tone Collins used in the story development and appreciated the details provided. Overall just a fun read and one I would gladly recommend to vamp lovers everywhere.

This was my first book by this author, but I can honestly say that it won’t be my last! This was a truly phenomenal read, it’s highly entertaining, witty, action-packed and unbelievably funny.

From the very beginning I was hooked, Lila’s internal dialogue had me laughing out loud and feeling very connected to her. She was a really normal character in a very abnormal situation, and I loved it. I loved the flow of the story and all of the detail, it made it really easy to picture everything playing out in my mind which kept me engaged the whole way through!

I honestly can’t wait to continue reading about these characters in book 2!

Obsessed (Lila Casey Series Book 1) by J Collins was a pretty okay read that had me smiling, annoyed and just got me in all the good fun feels.

This book was such a joy to read that I had it pretty much read in one sitting. As I said it’s fun, light hearted, and has some pretty good chuckle moments. I’ve read my fair share of vampire books, and I always love it when there’s a new spin on the lore. This author did a great job of making this read fresh and enjoyable. The romance was quick, but not overpowering, it flowed nice and once the other vampires started showing up, the story found solid footing and took off.

I will say that our MC Lila was a little hard for me to like at the start. She seemed a little immature for her age, and it was annoying. She did get better as the story when on, but if it wasn’t for Adam (our sexy vamp) then I don’t think I would have liked her at all, and might even have not wanted to finish the book. Other elements like detail and the overall storytelling was a major draw for me, and helped with the unlikeable MC. But as I have said she does get better as the story goes on, I just wish she wasn’t so, eyerolly at the start.

Overall this story is fantastically good, it’s has that quirky feel that just keeps you engaged and turning the pages. I’m definitely going to be following this series, as I believe that it’s going to be something epic. So yes, this book gets my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval.

Happy Reading

Obsessed: Lila Casey Book 1 (Lila Casey Series) By J Collins. This book took me a bit to really sink into but once I got there I couldn’t put it down. The characters all play off each other well and I sometimes forgot I was reading a book. Now a days I really have to be in the mood for a vampire story but this one was definitely what I was looking for. It’s well written and paced nicely, with characters you won’t forget anytime soon. I’m really looking forward to seeing where the author takes readers next. Give this book a chance, you won’t be disappointed. I’m giving this story a four star review and recommend it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in a series and the first book I have read by this author. Honestly, I almost didn’t read it because the cover didn’t jump out at me.

Lila Casey is a hard character to describe. She is someone who isn’t comfortable with who she is, yet has enough self preservation to own who she is.

This was a quick story to read. I would almost think it was new adult with some steamy scenes. This story had a sense of humor about it; From the main character’s inner monologue, “wasn’t it some kind of sacrilege to throw books around?”, the interesting characters (looking at you Tatum) and the way the story develops – it never gets to be *too much*.

I am invested enough that I will continue with the series.

Obsessed by J. Collins is the first book in the Lila Casey Series. I found this book to be a quick an easy read but enjoyable nonetheless.
Although I find this type of story to be a little over saturated nowadays I though this author did really well to keep it fresh and interesting. Although it was, in one way, a typical vampire story, it didn’t feel like I was reading something I had read a million times. It has a good story line and great characters.
There were times when Lila got on my nerves a little but the more the story went on the more I warmed to her. Her character was really developed well as the book progressed. This was a new author to me and I enjoyed the way they put together the overall arc of the book. This is someone I will definitely be reading more of in the future, starting with the next in this series.

This is my first book by this author, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. This is a paranormal vampire story that is a well written story and engaging. Lila and Adam meet by chance. What will happen when he pulls her into a real life vampire world that is full of danger and passion? When Lila catches the eye of another vampire things could become a little dangerous. Is she save, can she be protected? They are great characters who make the story feel real. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am a huge fan of vampire stories. So picking this up was a no-brainer for me. I loved the quick romance of the two main characters. The story has its ups and downs. Parts I struggled with…others I didn’t want to put it down. I did read it fairly quickly. The characters were annoying, secretive and silly. I even chuckled and snickered a few times (Thanks Shane and Tatum!)

I liked where this is going but the inner dialogue of Lila got old after a while. She almost sounded like a teenager with some of the things rambling through her brain. Not counting what came out of her mouth. Now with that being said on the second half of the book…it’s like she grew and became not so annoying. While Adam is her guy I enjoyed her interactions with Tatum the best.

Easily the second half of the book was much more enjoyable. Once the other vampires started showing up and there were more interactions. It became fabulous! I loved all of them with their quirks and eagerly look forward to more stories with all the secondary characters. Even Nick!

5 out of 5 stars

The story Obsessed (Lila Casey Series Book 1) by J. Collins is an absolutely amazing book. It hooked me in from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until I had finished the last page. I have always loved vampire stories and this one is a wonderful example of why. I loved reading about the characters of Lila Casey and Adam Drake. Lila is a woman who loves vampire fiction. Little does she realize that when meeting Adam she finds a real-life vampire. I love that Lila is independent and is open to new experiences. Adam Drake is a businessman who finds himself not able to think of anything else once he meets Lila. There is an attraction between these two. There is also danger from another vampire who is also interested in Lila. Will Adam be able to keep Lila safe? Will the other vampire be found before he finds Lila? Read this book to find out. There is plenty of romantic scenes in this story that make the temperature in the room rise. There is intense and emotional dialogue. I enjoyed reading about the additional characters that are helpful to Adam and Lila. There are times that are humorous. The book also has times when I was turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. This is a story that I didn’t want to put down until I had finished it. It is a book I would highly recommend reading.

Lila Casey has always been fascinated with vampire fiction, an escape from an average day-to-day life. A chance meeting with gorgeous Adam Drake plunges Lila into a world of real-life vampires, passion, true love… and danger…

Because unfortunately another, deadlier, vampire has taken a shine to Lila, and he’ll stop at nothing to hunt her down, his plans for her darker and more evil than anything she could imagine. Now it’s up to Adam and his friends to protect Lila while they try to hunt the hunter, and save her from her hideous fate.

Can they find him before he finds her?

Having read as many paranormal romance and supernatural series as possible, J Collins felt a world developing in her mind and sat in front of her laptop. She’d written many different subjects and genres in the past, but nothing had come together quite like this vampire world she’d begun creating.

The character of Lila Casey is loosely based on the writer; if the writer indeed had the guts and sassiness Lila does. The writer’s love of all things vampire, and of rock and goth music, became intertwined with this series, and fueled the hours and hours of writing in the early hours of the morning.

Born and raised in England, J Collins wanted to create something quintessentially English in its language, settings, and humour, and she hopes she has done it justice.
