Synopsis courtesy of Goodreads:

For the past two years, Jenn has lived and trained at Spain's

Sacred Heart Academy Against the Cursed Ones. She is among the few who have pledged to defend humanity or die trying. But the vampires are gaining power, and the battle has only just begun.

Forced to return home after death takes a member of her family,

Jenn discovers that San Francisco is now a vampire strong-hold. As

a lone hunter apart from her team, Jenn is isolated - and at risk. She

craves the company of her fighting partner, Antonio: his protection,

his reassurance, his touch. But a relationship with Antonio comes

with its own dangers, and the more they share of themselves, the

more Jenn stands to lose.

Then Jenn is betrayed by one who was once bound to protect her,

causing her to doubt all she had held as true. To survive, Jenn must

find the courage to trust herself - and her heart.

To start off, this book was just staring me down in the bookstore. I forgot that those two fantastic authors were coming out with yet another book. I think that their Wicked series was good, so I was like why not and lets try it out. This book in my opinion was a huge letdown at the end. I will try not to spoil for those who haven't read it yet. When I flipped to the back of the book when I first got it I saw the line in italics because I am special. This for me was like okay good this book has real vampires and the main character had something special about her. I was determined to find out how and why she was special. At the end when I found out why I was super disappointed the explaination it had was really dumb and not that much fun to think about. That is why this book got a four and not a five. Jenn and Antonio really didn't catch my attention all that much, but Aurora and Jamie they certainly did.

Oh, if you want to read this book go right ahead. It is certainly entertaining, but if you are looking for a book that makes you think about it afterwards don't get it.

25th book read on my 100 book challenge!!
