SYNOPSIS:
Rose and Lissa have been caught in the human world by their academy’s guardians after fleeing. The school is determined to find out why but Rose isn’t keen on giving up their secrets just yet. Springing them back into the world of Moroi and Dhampirs, more secrets about Lissa and her powers begin to unfold and Rose is determined to protect her.
REVIEW:
Honestly, it took me a minute to be able to get into this book but I’m so glad i continued reading!! I really enjoyed this different take on vampires. The differences between moroi, dhampirs, and strigoi were really intriguing to me, as a person who has pretty much strictly read vampire romances where’s it mostly the typical vampire and maybe a werewolf here and there.
I’m a sucker for a book held at a boarding school, but i felt like this book could have benefit from more world building? Since it’s a series I’m giving it the benefit of the doubt because there’s still 5 more books to accomplish this. ALSO i did not see the plot twist coming AT ALL!
Overall, I think a lot of people would enjoy this book. I wish I had have read this when I was a teenager because I know I would have been completely obsessed, but as a 24 year old I’m not sure it really hits the same.
