Talisman Series by Brenda Pandos

To be normal, sixteen-year-old Julia Parker would shed her empathic gift in a second. Life has been difficult since her mother's mysterious disappearance ten years earlier - an event she witnessed, but can't remember. Julia's situation becomes more complicated after a near death experience from a blood thirsty stalker. As high school students go missing it is clear there is a connection to her own experience--past and present. Someone has to stop the madness and a chance encounter with a creepy psychic foretells that only Julia is the key to stopping the madness, but it may require the life of the one she loves.

With the local vampire coven decimated, Julia and Nicholas try to begin a somewhat normal life together. Bound by secrecy from a shape shifter determined to see Julia’s world-saving prediction come to fruition, Julia isn’t allowed to tell Nicholas the leader survived, ransacking her happiness with guilt. When Alora returns, bent on revenge, the reunion forces Nicholas and Julia to choose what they are willing to live and die for.

 

All was perfect in Julia’s life until Nicholas had his vampire blood-lust activated by
his mother Alora, her immortal enemy, turning him evil and bent on revenge.
Heartbroken and out of choices, Phil and Julia ran away in the middle of the night, with
Scarlett on foot, to Orange County to warn and plead Nicholas’ Godfather for help. Once
arriving at Harry’s though, the local coven accosted them and they narrowly escaped.
After they returned home, there was a huge showdown between Phil, Nicholas,
Scarlett, Alora, Katie and Julia. Alora almost got what she wanted—Julia’s vampire
warding talisman—but Preston, Nicholas’ father, and Harry came to the rescue. They
escorted Nicholas and Alora back to Beverly Hills, pledging to return Nicholas free from
his blood-lust. But all Julia’s received in the past four months is a letter stating Nicholas
missed her along with some song lyrics and promise of a quick return. That was a month
ago. Now Julia awaits Nicholas’ return with the Fab Five Coven: Phil and Katie—the
sober vampires, Scarlett—the half-vamp/shape-shifter, and Tyler and Julia—the
inducted humans. She’s stuck in Scotts Valley with Phil as her self-appointed chaperon
and no way to return to Los Angeles to check on Nicholas. Only Scarlett and Julia know
her fate ultimately involves the demise of all vampires, possibly including the ones she
loves. When the time comes, will she even have a choice?
