Gr 9 Up-After the deaths of Grace's parents, she finds herself shipped off to an elite Alaskan boarding school where her uncle is the headmaster and where she is rooming with her cousin of the same age. From the outset, however, it's fairly obvious that this is no ordinary boarding school: Cue the smoking hot, domineering bad boy who has vampire written all over him. Predictably, the school is running amok with paranormal creatures including werewolves, dragons, witches, and warlocks. Further, Grace's presence is no accident. Some standard vampire rules are in play, but others are conveniently set aside. The one about multiple bites turning a victim into a vampire is whisked away with a fiat about vampire intention. Hokey? Perhaps, but it makes for some steamy, climactic bite scenes. The book runs long, but the pacing is excellent and the dialogue really snaps the story forward. VERDICT The generation that missed Twilight will be bitten by this one. Recommended first purchase.Leah Krippner, Harlem High School, Machesney Park, IL

The instant #1 New York Times Bestselling Series Glitter Magazine's #1 Pick for Best YA of 2020 Optioned for Film by Universal My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy. Nothing is right about this place or the other students in it. Here I am, a mere mortal among gods...or monsters. I still can't decide which of these warring factions I belong to, if I belong at all. I only know the one thing that unites them is their hatred of me. Then there's Jaxon Vega. A vampire with deadly secrets who hasn't felt anything for a hundred years. But there's something about him that calls to me, something broken in him that somehow fits with what's broken in me. Which could spell death for us all. Because Jaxon walled himself off for a reason. And now someone wants to wake a sleeping monster, and I'm wondering if I was brought here intentionally--as the bait.
