THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME—EVEN IF HOME IS WHERE THE DEAD LIVE...
It’s the start of the fall semester, and a new crop of Acari and Trainees have descended on the Isle of Night. Watcher training has intensified, and Drew has a new roommate named Mei-Ling. But Mei-Ling harbors a dangerous secret that drove the vampires to abduct her against her will. Drew knows she shouldn’t get involved, but she can’t seem to leave her roommate to fend for herself.
Luckily, Drew has other things on her mind—like vampire Carden. A blood bond to a brawny, eighteenth-century Scottish bad boy tends to preoccupy a girl. And though she’s still figuring out what this bond means, one thing has become clear: She craves him in a major way.
But then bodies start turning up on the island. All the evidence points to the existence of a rogue vampire, and the sinister vampire Alcántara is gunning for Carden, even though Drew has proof that Carden had nothing to do with the murders. Now she has to find the true killer—without endangering Carden, Mei-Ling, or herself…

I prepurchased this book because I read the first two books. I was NOT disappointed, her writing gets better with each one.
I'm looking forward to her next book already.

I rate this book 3.5. The theme of this 3rd installment is still the same as the two previous installments. Nothing is changed. Teenagers are brought to the isle to train as hard as they can in order to survive the entertainment they perform for the vampires who rule the island. Annalise Drew is a 17-year old teenager who is very intelligent academically. She may be smart, but she is also stubborn, foolish, and reckless. She loses her wits when her hormones are jumping up and down. She contradicts every warnings that Ronan tells her. Luckily, she was not my daughter. Good riddance! Blood fever is a feeling you encounter when you have bonded with a vampire. This is the feeling that Caden and Annalise are experiencing since they bonded at the ending of book 2. It's the type of affection as in "I'll move the mountain for you, my Darling." I have nothing against with Caden McCloud. He is gorgeous, mellow (for a vampire), and wise. The thing that I don't get is that he is powerful as Hugo "Creepy" Alcantara. Why doesn't he just take Drew with him and banish from that isle to live happily ever after?
My bus stops here since the author of this book won't build up Ronan's character any further. He is the reason why I am following this series. I want to find out his history...why does he continue living in that isle...is he afraid of the vampires...and so on. Furthermore, I wish the author builds up the story on the Trainees as well...like Josh and Yas. These are the things I want the author to deliver and not focus only on Annalise's learning and training to become a gladiator. This series has so much potential, but the author is not exploring it. ;-0(

It's nice for a book to throw some curve balls and not necessarily come
out the way you hoped, but still love it anyway. Wolff has a way of
making you change your mind about who to root for. Strong characters,
great story, fast paced, and hard to put down.

The book starts off very well. Into it more and gets 'flirty' Drew tries to ignore the bond that Carden and her have. What i realized was Drew started to speak more formally to Hugo. I tried to understand but all i came up with was she (a) forgot or (b) the bond. How she suddenly is so terified of Hugo that doesnt seem like her at all. Carden is very cute his charater is perfect. Drew seemed way too damn desperate. No lie. Maybe she change a little too much. I dont understand the purpose of her roomate. But maybe it was to fill a space. Over all i was a bit upset about this book. Because: Drew is not her normal smartass self. But i have to say that she started to act more 'drewish' i guess. In the next book try not to lose the charater's personality. Now this is my honest opinion. I hope the author realizes this.
