I loved
Buffy, so when I found out about this book, I knew I just had to read it.
Aurora is
the typical odd-girl-out that was anti-social and sucked at sports. A senior in
high school, she can’t wait to graduate, go to college, and get out of cold Alaska.
After a car
accident, it is revealed that Aurora has “special” blood—apparently, it’s
mutated blood by how everyone was making it out to be. It seems that they injected her with a virus
that made her a powerful force to be reckoned with against the demonic world.
Like Robocop, they took her mangled remains from the car wreck and revived her
into this powerful, crime-fighting machine.
I liked
Aurora because she was your everyday, awkward teen (shy, witty, quiet), who
liked to read and write. The fact that the agents were training her in
kickboxing and martial arts made her even cooler. It disappointed me that she
didn’t use those skills as often as I thought she would. There were a few areas
that lagged here and there. I wanted to see her fight vampires, but, instead,
she gets caught up in this whirlwind romance with Fane, who, (surprise!) ends
up being a vampire.
Ending was
not as epic as I expected it to be. Instead it was more confusing than
satisfying. But, overall, this was pretty good.
My rating: 3.5 stars
