“Only a true best friend can protect you from your immortal enemies!”
In this book there are three different types of Vampires: the Moroi, the royals; the Damphir, half-human half-vampires who are trained to protect the Moroi; and the Strigoi, an immortal bunch of Vampires that kill innocents every day. Lissa Dragomir, a Moroi princess, is the last of her family’s blood line, making her extremely susceptible to the cravings of the Strigoi, who are hell-bent on killing her. Rose Hathaway, Lissa’s best friend, is a Damphir who is just as hell-bent on protecting her. Both girls, who escaped St. Vladamir’s Academy just two years prior, have been caught and dragged back where their world becomes even more dangerous – inside the school gates. I love this book, and if you love Twilight you will love this series as well.

On October 1, 1910, the Los Angeles Times Building was bombed as part of an orchestrated attack on 100 American cities. The book is a narrative as well as an in-depth research of the escalating events, the attack, and the aftermath. It is a historical drama that is more relevant than ever as it parallels current events and illustrates another era's reaction.
