Ratings: 4.5 of 5 stars
I was pleasantly surprised with this book.I didn't know what to expect but the reason I read it was
because a review I glanced at and only read the first line of said this book was a cross between Vampire
Academy and The Hunger Games. Those two series are two of my favorites so I knew I had to read this book.
Annelise Drew is a spirited genius who was "recruited" by Ronan to go to the Isle of Night where there is a type of boarding school that trains girls to be watchers/assassins whose aim is to protect Vampires. The vampires in this book are anything but sparkly.They are dangerous and the school is set up and runs on the principle of survival of the strongest.Training to become a Watcher is tough business and Annelise sure struggles a bit at first. It was great to see her slowly come into who she was and embrace her new life.
The concept behind the novel was also very intriguing.Stick of a bunch of tough girls hellbent on survival on an island run by vampires and make them survive to the death? Somebody better die. And somebody better be doing some killing. Isle of Night does all it sets out to do without pulling punches or giving its characters an easy way out.All in all it is a great book and is the start to a YA series that is sure to be a hit.
