Summary/ product description: “Seventeen-year-old
Violet McKenna is back for her senior year at Winterhaven, and thrilled to be
with Aidan after a long summer apart. But when a violent and disturbing vision

if she is in danger, and—worst of all—whether she and Aidan are really meant to
be together.”
My Rating: êêêêê
My Review: I really love this series. A boarding
school for psychics, a girl who’s destiny is to kill vampires, and a really hot
vampire who’s ambitious to for the cure for vampirism. Not your typical vampire
book, but kind of typical for the paranormal romance + boarding school genera
(Similar to Hex Hall, Vampire Academy, Dead Beautiful…ect.). I really love
paranormal boarding school books.
So, in this book Aiden is really eager to find the
cure to vampirism so he can be human and live with Violet and grow old
together, so he starts injecting himself
with this serum he’s working on. It seems to ward off the bloodlust, but after
a few changes in the serum, so ill-effects appear. And also, there’s a “Vampire
Stalker” on the loose in Manhattan. Murders that seem like they were done by a
vampire, but could just be mimicking a vampire.
This book introduces 2 new characters: Tyler, a
micro-tellie guy who’s a really great fencer, and Matthew Byrnes, a science
teacher who’s a precog and Violet’s new mentor. Tyler’s a bit of a egotistic
player, and Mr. Byrnes is trying to help Violet deal with her visions. I would
go as far as to say that any love triangles develop between them, Violet and
Aiden, but they do make Aiden a bit jealous. Violet only has eyes for Aiden. He
does have the Aiden Effect (which I actually got a pin from the author at
RT that say “Aiden Effect” on it.)
This book has some really great mystery and
who-done-it in it. I can’t wait till the next one comes out. This is a trilogy,
right? I wish it was a quartet. Aiden is the new, improved Edward (and not
sparkly and creepy).
Cover Art Review: Really simple, and to the point.
Mirror for mirage. Love the butterfly. And love the title.
