Seventeen-year-old Kia barely survived her parents divorce several years ago. Now her mom is in the hospital battling cancer and Kia is stuck with her workaholic father, leaving her searching for an escape from the everyday horrors of her life.

She finds this escape with a group of people acting out a dark fantasy. These vampires spend all night in dark clubs, wearing gothic outfits, and even baring fake fangs. But when Kia meets Damon, she begins to wonder if maybe a true vampire exists among them, one who could be the answer to all of her problems . . .
 


Review

Plot: Kia has had a difficult life. First, her parents divorced. And jsut when life was good again, her mom got cancer. Now she's stuck living with her robot-like dad. He tries but obviously not enough. Kia slowly starts withdrawing from everyone, even her best friends. Then she finds a whole new world she never thought of before. It's a world of vampires and darkness. Her friends worry about this world (especially because she's practiaclly dropped out of school now) but she doesn't care. It helps her feel better.
 
Character(s): Kia -  She doesn't feel like she fits in anywhere. Even her friends don't understand her. She feels like she has to hide everything from everyone and doesn't confide in anyone. She keeps everything bottled up and snaps at people when she gets too stressed. She's a kind person though. She cares about her mom greatly. She feels guilty if she ever misses a trip to the hospital and loves people greatly.
 
Cover: The cover was a bit confusing to me, but I did like it. The font and color are cool. It has an eerie sort of feel that matches the book well.
 
Closing Thoughts: I'm only giving this book a one because to be honest, I didn't like it. I barely wanted to finish it, but I did. I was confused through the whole thing if it was suppsoed to be realistic or fantasy. It was weird and unrelatable. The way she acted, the things she did. None of if seemed to flow well.
 
Where to find Carla Jablonski:
Sweet Daydreams,

Top Ten Tuesdays: Books I Want to Reread

TTT is a weekly feature held by the Broke and the Bookish . This week's topic are books that we would love to reread. Here's my list: 1. The Book Thief by Mark Zusak Beautifully written and a different take and perspective on a huge event in our history. This was a school read, but everyone in my class was captivated by it. 2. Got Fangs? by Katie Maxwell It was absolutely hilarious and some of the best kissing scenes I've ever read. I kept up with this series and would love to reread how it all began between Fran and Ben. 3. Beastly by Alex Flinn This is one of the best YA book I've read so far. It's so simple with being based in Brooklyn, but I love the development of the characters and budding romance. 4. The Replacement  by Brenna Yovanoff I tried to read this at first and could not get through it. I wan to read it in the future since I know how well-written it is and what the heck Mackie is. 5. Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce I absolutely love adaptions and th...

Review: Night School (Blood Coven #5) by Mari Mancusi

Synopsis: Vampires, Slayers and…FAIRIES? Sunny and Rayne McDonald are about to get SCHOOLED. After their parents’ shocking revelation about their fae heritage and an attack on their lives, the McDonald twins find themselves on the run—forced to hide out at Riverdale Academy , a boarding school for vampire slayers, deep in the Swiss Alps. With no cells, no internet, and no way to contact their vampire boyfriends—the twins are on their own. Being a vampire stuck in a school full of slayers isn’t easy. Especially with no blood substitute stocked on campus. Soon Rayne finds herself succumbing to her bloodlust and losing control—especially around the arrogant, but devastatingly handsome Corbin Billingsworth the Third—who isn’t sure whether he wants to kiss her…or kill her. But when Sunny starts acting strange, Rayne realizes Riverdale Academy may be hiding some deadly secrets of its own—leading to a showdown in Fairyland that may cost the twins their lives.
