Breathless is the first book in the Blue Fire Saga, a paranormal romance series set at a small college in present day Connecticut. There are currently four books in the series.
Weston College freshman Leesa Nyland has been fascinated by vampires since she was three years old. That's when her mom started acting weird, insisting sunlight hurt her skin because she'd been bitten by a one-fanged vampire.
But fascinated doesn't mean Leesa believes. Any more than she believes in blue fire, people who live for centuries, and kisses that can kill. But when her beloved older brother suddenly disappears, she is forced to consider all these and more. She also has to figure out what to do about her mysterious new boyfriend. She knows Rave likes her a lot--so why won't he kiss her?
As Leesa draws closer to finding her brother, she faces some gut-wrenching decisions. Should she risk her mom's life trying to "cure" her? Should she continue seeing Rave, after he reveals his dangerous secret? And most terrifying of all, should she make the ultimate sacrifice-give up her humanity-to save her brother? *amazon.com*
Scott Prussing was born in New Jersey, but was smart enough to move to beautiful San Diego as soon as he received his Master's degree in psychology from Yale University. Scott is currently working on Heartless, which will be Book Five in the Blue Fire Saga. He expects to release Heartless in November, 2012.
In addition to the Blue Fire Saga books, Scott is the author of the mystery/suspense novels Unturned Stones and Tangled Webs, the fantasy/adventure Dreams of the Last Born, and the teen romance Mine: A Love Story, whose plot is based on the hit songs of Taylor Swift.
Besides writing, Scott enjoys riding his bicycle near the beach, going to the movies (not renting!), reading, hiking and golf. He remains one of the few people in the United States without a cell phone.

Here is a copy of my review from May of 2012 (remember, you can see all my reviews on Amazon and Goodreads).
Not to be cliché but, Breathless is a breath of fresh air. Prussing has taken the almost worn out vampire/vampire hunters genre and given it new life! The characters are unigue and engaging, the story interesting and the love triangle intriguing!
I may sound like a broken record, I know, we have ourselves another strong female lead and very real, believable characters. I also liked that Prussing avoided the usual teenage female character; Leesa is a grounded, selfless non-annoying character.
Leesa receives a cryptic and disturbing letter from her brother, Bradley just before he disappears; she packs up and heads of the college. The same college her brother attended and disappeared from. She quickly makes friends with the quirky Cali (whom I loved straight away because Leesa’s disability didn’t even phase her!) Shortly after that she meets the mysterious Rave, a guy she's immediately attracted to. And then there's the equally mysterious Stefan who seems interested in her as well, can you say Love Triangle; and a damn good one to boot!
I have to stop there, if I say anymore it will ruin the surprise… this book is a must read guys, packed full of action, romance and mystery. I give this one 4/5, but that's just my two cents!
