Twelfth Grade Kills by Z Brewer
4.0
If Brewer could have constructed all of the books the way she did 4 and 5, I would probably rate the whole series 5/5. Vlad is so much more involved with life in this book, both his human and his vampire sides. The timeline is about as good as book 4, and the character interactions are still choppy, in that he has an important interaction with them and then nothing is said about that interaction until several chapters later. But it's still WAY better than the first three.
Not to mention that I've read this book before and I was still astounded by what happened. And then heavily disappointed by the climax of the book, only to realize a couple pages later that that totally hadn't been the actual climax. Slowly climbing page count over the course of a series isn't always a good thing, but in this case it works. Brewer needed all that space to explain things in this book, and she spent less time explaining the obvious and manage to sum up important themes into bit sized paragraphs.
Plus the action is pretty good (cuz there's actually action in this one).
