"THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME—EVEN IF HOME IS WHERE THE DEAD LIVE...
It’s the start of the fall semester, and a new crop of Acari and Trainees have descended on the Isle of Night. Watcher training has intensified, and Drew has a new roommate named Mei-Ling. But Mei-Ling harbors a dangerous secret that drove the vampires to abduct her against her will. Drew knows she shouldn’t get involved, but she can’t seem to leave her roommate to fend for herself.
Luckily, Drew has other things on her mind—like vampire Carden. A blood bond to a brawny, eighteenth-century Scottish bad boy tends to preoccupy a girl. And though she’s still figuring out what this bond means, one thing has become clear: She craves him in a major way.
But then bodies start turning up on the island. All the evidence points to the existence of a rogue vampire, and the sinister vampire Alcántara is gunning for Carden, even though Drew has proof that Carden had nothing to do with the murders. Now she has to find the true killer—without endangering Carden, Mei-Ling, or herself…"

 

Stepping in from mythology to vampires, it is very easy to get into the book. Picking up right where the last book left off, I’m back on the island, trying to survive.
Right, so the plot. It pretty much began as I thought it would and I quickly settled in for an easy read. I wanted to plot to be much more than what I thought, still it was okay. The plot for me didn’t really waiver from what I already read before.
The biggest changes were mostly made in the characters. Drew is growing and becoming wiser in her decisions. She is not what she was in the beginning and I like that the reader can see Drew becoming powerful. What I didn’t like about Drew was her wishy-washy thing going on between guys. Seriously, what is up with that. One minute she dislikes the guys and the next, well, you’ll have to see for yourself.
 Overall, this is good story It’s nothing you haven’t read before but certainly carries it own uniqueness to it. It easy and predictable. Perfect for something to read if this is what you are looking for.
I give it 3 BITES!
Happy Reading!

    I haven’t read any of this series. I’m glad that you were still able to enjoy this one. It’s too bad that the plot is pretty much the same, but at least the characters grew. Great review!

    Hm… might be something I would library book. Sometimes it’s okay to be predictable. 🙂
