Grey Eyes by B. Alston and Quinteria Ramey started off really, really good but it became more and more confusing by the end.
Ana is an almost sixteen girl who has spent much of her life on the run with her mother from something unknown to her- calls her mother a manic in the book while describing her- but that quickly changes with the arrival of a stranger that leaves her mother dead and her running to a nearby clearing through training alone. She is met by a boy named Nathan who informs her that she is, in fact, a witch and not just any witch but a part of a royal line from the ancient first witch Merline (aka a female Merlin). It takes many twists and turns and many changes of her- not as a character but as her standing in the community she lives in. First she's a princess, then she finds out the source of her powers are as a conjurer (evil source of powers according to her people), and finally she finds she's truly an angel sent to earth in various lives to take down the "Source"- the first vampire Daemon who is her son in her very first life as Merline who she brought back from the dead- and rebalance magic.
All in all it was a good read, probably will read the next book in the series (maybe not too soon) so if you like Twilight I suggest reading this book. A 3 out of 5 rating.
