Can we just talk about the cover? Or rather, can we all just stare at it? When I first saw the cover I was immediately drawn in. The coloring and contrast are perfect, and those eyes!! Wow.

Something about this book was a little Harry Potter meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer to me, well obviously more on the Buffy side. After I finished reading The Bellum Prophecy, I sat there and wondered what it would be like if this was made into a show.

So what did I like? Everything! I liked L. Marie Horton’s use of description for all the action that took place. But most importantly I love Edyn. She’s such a strong independent character. Is there anything I didn’t like? Minor things, the book started off slow and it took me a couple of pages to really get into this book. Another thing I wasn’t a huge fan of was the vampire-human relationship between Edyn and Brendan. I don’t want to say it felt forced but it didn’t seem like it flowed naturally to me.

This was an intriguing book that I’m 100% sure will lead into an intense and captivating series. I can’t wait to read the next book!
