Description
Death, Life, or Love—Unbounded Always Play for Keeps
There are only two ways to kill Unbounded, and fire isn’t one of them—as law school dropout Erin Radkey learns the hard way. By fluke of a recessive gene, she has become Unbounded, a nearly immortal being with paranormal abilities.
Erin’s Change separates her from her loved ones and alters everything she believes to be true. A week earlier she was considering a marriage proposal; now she contemplates the best way to stay alive. Caught in a battle between two Unbounded groups, the Emporium and the Renegades, she is also hunted by a secret mortal society sworn to eradicate the Unbounded gene.
As Erin plunges into this dangerous new life, she must carve out her own place in the madness, protect her mortal family, and decide which group she should join. Her unique ability is vital to both groups in the race to secure an identification software that spells death for all Unbounded—or enslavement for the entire mortal world. Some will stop at nothing to use Erin as one more pawn in a battle that has spanned centuries. Erin’s undeniable attraction to Ritter Langton, whose family was massacred by opposing Unbounded two hundred and forty years ago, complicates her choices. There are no second chances. Death, life, or love—Unbounded always play for keeps.
Non-stop action, terrifying consequences, and powerful romance make The Change an exciting addition to the world of romantic urban fantasy.

I really enjoyed this book. It does have a hint of the vampire mystique, in the sense of immorality and beings being nearly indestructible. Well, that is immortal, unless they get cut to pieces. Then it is a life forfeited. Other than that they can survive just about anything.
There are three sects The Emporium, who want to repopulate the world with their kind and diminish the lesser humans or mortals. They are constantly running their gene research to repopulate as quickly as they can. Because they are near-immortal they take this to mean they are Gods. Who can do anything no matter who or what they have to do to reign supreme? Then there are the Renegades, who are also immortal but they want to work beside the mortals for the better of the world. Many have mortal families, and they hope at least one will have the gene. It is heartbreaking for them since they live well past the life span of their families. Since it is so gut-wrenching to have to lose loved ones as they grow old and it takes centuries for you to age. Of course, you always need the dirty guys who do all the enforcing. The Hunters, capture, and slice up their prey. Since this is the only way to eliminate renegades.
The Unbounded are born with a gene that makes them far superior to the average human. Many have different talents to add to their superiority. One after another there is something to amaze you and keep you reading.
