Dark Fae by Susanne Valenti, Caroline Peckham
4.5

A young powerful female vampire wants revenge for who killed her brother, but she only knows he is a “King” at the boarding school where he attended. She uses her smarts to get admitted to the school and uses her feminine wiles to get close to the four kings. The most powerful and dangerous (and sexy) fae men on campus. Ryder is the leader of the Lunar Brotherhood gang and violence is his niche. He shifts to a Basilisk and can push visions into people’s heads. Dante is the leader of the rival gang. He is a storm dragon and super charming (and her roommate). Leon is a lion shifter with animal magnetism. He is the least threatening of them all but has a hidden brutal side. Last but not least is Gabriel, the most powerful fae at the school. He is a harpy with two different elemental powers. He is the dark brooding type with secrets. He also thinks Elise is his fated mate but keeps trying to reject her and protect her at the same time. One of these males killed her brother. I love how Elise plays them all to get close to them despite the danger but I think she is getting caught in her own games. Great book! Kept me on my seat the entire time. Nothing was resolved in the first book, so be prepared to continue.
