Summary:
When Sydney is torn from her bed in the middle of the night, at first she thinks she's still being punished for her complicated alliance with dhampir Rose Hathaway. But what unfolds is far worse. Jill Dragomir-the sister of Moroi Queen Lissa Dragomir-is in mortal danger, and the Moroi must send her into hiding. To avoid a civil war, Sydney is called upon to act as Jill's guardian and protector, posing as her roommate in the unlikeliest of places: a human boarding school in Palm Springs, California. The last thing Sydney wants is to be accused of sympathizing with vampires. And now she has to live with one.
The Moroi court believe Jill and Sydney will be safe at Amberwood Prep, but threats distractions, and forbidden romance lurd both outside-and within-the school grounds. Now that they're in hiding, the drama is only just beginning.
My Thoughts:
I didn't expect to like this book, or even understand it. I never read any of the author's other books, and my standards for vampire books are really high (because of the pile of poop that is Twilight). However, I loved this book. It was a quick yet captivating read. Sydney is a great main character-she doesn't treat those she fears like poop. Keith is an a-hole and the total opposite of Sydney. I was glad to see him go. Jill is quiet and sweet. Adrian was...interesting? And the alchemists are pretty selfish and awful. Overall, it was really interesting! Would read again.
My Rating: 5 stars
