In the first in a series, Peckham and Valenti show what a sister is willing to do to find out who murdered her brother:
I read the first three books in the Zodiac Academy and this book was the next recommended in reading as they take place in the same world and there is a bit of cross over into Zodiac Academy. I personally have preferred this book to the three I have read in Zodiac Academy. I find that the plot is better and it is not trying to be more than it is and it is a read that is more for the vibes and popcorn than the writing and content (and I am 100% okay with that).
I enjoyed that Elise is a Vampire and that she does not shy away from who she is and what she needs. Even though sometimes it takes her away from what she needs to do to find her brother’s killer. This makes her feel more real, and you know that she is not a detective or in law enforcement so yes it is going to take time for her to figure things out and get things right.
I actually enjoyed all the POV, as we get one from all of the men as well as Elise. We get to know all the characters and what drives each of them. Elise get the most chapters, as she should but I feel like the book was more well rounded by having the men’s POV. I like that each POV involved different events that were happening around each of the characters and it was not repetitive.
I enjoyed the gang aspect of the book and the rivalry that it created in the book and how it hinders and helps at time Elise get the information that she needs. I also like how it was playing out as it neared the end of the book.
I enjoyed this book, academy setting and getting to know the characters and I look forward to seeing where Peckham and Valenti takes this series.
Enjoy!!!
