Twelfth Grade Kills by Z Brewer
3.0
The Vladimir Tod Series as a whole is a fun romp into the world of vampire, that takes a more grounded approach compared to its contemporaries *cough Twilight*
I fell in love with the first four books when I read them as a teenager, not only because it delves into deeper themes of friendship and the relationships between adults and teens, but I am also a "sucker" for the "chosen one" type mythos. I got into the fifth book as I recently re-read the series.
I will say, at times, rather than being melodramatic, the book sacrifices logic for drama (does every character forget they can read minds?) but until the final few chapters, I genuinely enjoyed the book. What lost me was the end as it seemed to lose the essence of the narrative (Vlad's relationships) in favour of quickfire sacrifices and Shyamalan-esque plot twists.
Overall great series, fifth book - don't get attached
