![]() ![]() Kids are getting ill and Hunter's roommate has a serious case of the mood-swings. Meanwhile, something weird is happening in the school. The Hel-Blar have been getting ever closer to the town and the innocent people there and the Helios-Ra alone may not be enough to stop them. ![]() ![]() They have a common enemy, the Hel-Blar, feral vampires who kill humans and vampires indiscriminately. The truce brought about by the Drake clan of vampires, though uneasy, is a truce and the first step towards a democratic understanding between the friendlier vampire clans and the Helios-Ra. But then, he also believes it's a good idea for Hunter to cut off all her long blonde hair. He believes in staking all vampires, no questions asked. Her family takes vampire hunting very seriously – she's called Hunter, after all – and her Grandpa is one of the most infamous vampire hunters of his generation. Hunter Wild has always been head of her class at the Helios-Ra Vampire Hunter Academy. Good if you are in the mood for something a bit lighthearted and romantic. Summary: Not a bad book, but still not quite living up to the promise of the interesting ideas going on in the background. ![]()
