Excuse the pun but I am a sucker for anything vampire or set in a school, so the setting of Katmere Academy is everything I can ask for.
Grief and guilt riddles our main characters Jaxon and Grace from their respective histories. Grace being normal in a school full of vampires , witches and shapeshifters is a drama waiting to happen and from unknown enemies to attempts on her life that is exactly what we get.
I loved getting to see Grace grow closer to her uncle and cousin after her parents death, as well as the friendships we see form with Jaxons friends for her too. Not necessarily forbidden but a romance that’s a battle of feelings and fear for her and Jaxon it’s heartwarming to see romance bloom amongst warring factions.
I couldn’t have seen the end of this coming and am ultimately glad I already have the second book as I’m sure right now that I will devour this series and it will become a firm favourite.

Je me suis ennuyée comme jamais.
J'ai eu l'impression de lire une parodie de parodie de Twilight. Tellement de clichés réunis dans un même tome...
Et tant de niaiseries. J'ai levé les yeux au ciel, râlé ou soufflé un nombre incalculable de fois.
Certes ce sont des adolescents mais cela ne justifie pas à mes yeux cette tartine de mièvreries.
Sans compter certaines absurdités et le fait que l'héroine ne capte rien avant 300 pages alors que les autres personnages font des bourdes toutes les 5 pages.
Bref, je n'ai pas aimé et je ne lirais pas la suite !
