I never wanted to be a vampire queen.
But on the bright (if not sunny) side of the debacle, I’ve got a super-hot new boyfriend. And he just might be the perfect guy.
Well, if the perfect guy ghosts you for a month and then comes back to school with a new look, a pack of friends, and a secret. But we have bigger problems.
The Drainers are back. They’re singing a different song, but have they really changed?
Even worse, werewolves’ hearts are being ripped from their bodies—which is putting the people I love in danger. I need to figure out who is behind the murders before there’s an all-out vampire-werewolf war.
No one is going to mess with my friends, even the ones who like to get wild and howl at the moon.
Sometimes, all a girl can do is grab her tiara and start kicking some supernatural ass…
My Review:
4/5 ⭐️
This was a great followup to the first book! And I enjoyed the characters a bit more in this one than the first one. I’ve been a fan of Marlene Perez’s books since I was a teen and definitely am enjoying this new series from her! It has the same humor as her other books. Also the old ladies are yet again just as hilarious as they were in book 1!
