Summary

Full Metal Alchemist meets Vampire Diaries in this fun and clever dark academia series...

High school is supposed to be about studying, socializing, and marching-band practice. Not fighting vampires. Then one night flipped my world inside out--now, my life sucks. But it isn't all bad. I'm at a slayer academy, learning things like the real origin of vamps and how to make serious weapons out of thin air.

Every last one of them will pay for what they did. I'm doing great.

Until I come face-to-face with the actual vampire prince...and I'm not sure of anything anymore. Vampires are supposed to be soul-sucking demons. But Khamari is...something else. He's intelligent and reasonable--and he seems to know things about me that could change everything.

He's also hiding something big, even from his own kind. And when a threat from an ancient evil is so extreme that a vampire will team up with a slayer to take it down, it isn't just my need for revenge that's at stake anymore.

It's the whole damn world.

Kirkus Review

Meet a vampire slayer like no other. Eighteen-year-old Raven is a Black girl who's happy being a section leader in marching band, where she plays the saxophone. She's definitely not ready for what happens as they're returning home from a game. There's a terrifying growl, then the students' bus is attacked, and Raven's best friend is left bleeding badly. Seeing their band director killed is traumatic enough, but when glowing signs appear on Raven's palms, she's thrust into a fight she knows nothing about. There's an attractive guy with a Caribbean accent and a scar on his neck who's taking on vampires using only his mind, and he calls Raven a "slayer." Khamari, or Pretty Boy, as Raven thinks of him, offers to remove her traumatic memories, but she doesn't want that. She wants to know exactly which forces are shaping her, even if neither she nor anyone else seems to know what she is exactly. As other slayers come to meet her, Raven's new adventure begins, with each moment stranger than the one before. Delightful and action-packed, this novel centers an enchanting lead who is also a believable teen. The side characters add richness to the vivid and textured world. Sure to be a hit with lovers of paranormal adventures. (Paranormal. 14-18) Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
