Aurora Sky by Nikki Jefford is the first book in the Aurora Sky Vampire Hunter series. Aurora is injected with a virus that makes her blood toxic to vampires. Now she is on a secret mission to kill vampires and save humans. Besides that she has to deal with other teenager problems like gossip and love.
I don't know where to start with this book. There was not a single character that I loved or liked. All of them were pretty annoying, especially Aurora. Here experience with death completely messed with her. She started to be rebellious, but the dumb kind. She put herself into dangerous situations and was annoying all the time. I get that she went through some serious shit and that her accident and her new job were not handled well, but her character is just annoying. Fane and Dante were okay characters. Dante is like a fun big brother that is here to annoy you. I don't have any strong feelings for Fane. Even though he is the love interest in this book, he seems more like a side character to me.
I also could not handle all the teenage drama that happened throughout the story. Constant jealousy, nasty gossip and "who am I in love with". Just not my type of favourite plot. Maybe I just grew out of these tropes. Which is okay. But I just don't like this anymore. What I found good is the idea of the story. I've read many many books about vampires as I LOVED vampires in the past (Twilight is saying hello). But this book has a different concept of vampires then others' I read. And I really think this idea is good! But to be honest, this is the only really good thing about this book.
I can not recommend this book and will not read the other books in this series. The idea of the story is really good, but the story itself was annoying and I did not like the characters.
