Review: For hundreds of years, the
vampire Balthazar has been alone—without allies, without love.
When Balthazar agrees to help
Skye Tierney, a human girl who once attended Evernight Academy, he has no idea
how dangerous it will be. Skye's newfound psychic powers have caught the
attention of Redgrave, the cruel, seductive master vampire responsible for
murdering Balthazar and his family four centuries ago. Now Redgrave plans to
use Skye's powers for his own evil purposes.
Balthazar will do whatever it
takes to stop Redgrave and exact his long-awaited revenge against his killer.
As Skye and Balthazar stand together to fight him, they grow closer—first
unwillingly, then undeniably. Balthazar realizes his lonely world could finally
be changed by her.
In a story filled with
forbidden love and dark suspense, one of the most beloved characters in Claudia
Gray's New York Times bestselling Evernight Series will captivate readers with his battle
to overcome his past and follow his heart.
No one can give Skye an explanation
for her new ability except for the very bad, Redgrave, who wants to use Skye's
blood for his own gain and will do anything to make Skye his. Balthazar, who
has a 400 year old grudge with Redgrave, promises to keep Skye safe while also
trying to finally put an end to Redgrave's reign of terror.
Skye is very well written and
developed. She's strong willed and brave. She is grieving for a dead brother
but still manages to keep it together and never backs away from a new threat.
Those who have read the previous EA books and who are familiar with the
intriguing Balthazar, will be pleasantly pleased with him in this installment.
I really loved the growing relationship between Sky and Balthazar. It wasn't
the instant love that most books have. Their love grows painfully slow and
reluctantly but I loved reading every bit of it.
Claudia Gray delivers again with
this addictive tale about a boy who doesn't think he can love a human without a
tragic ending and a girl who just can't take no for an answer when love is at
stake. The details were imaginative and thorough and I had no issues diving
into the book after the long wait from the fourth Evernight book.
She lives in New York City. So far, in life, she's been a disc jockey, a lawyer, a journalist and an extremely bad waitress, just to name a few. She especially likes to spend time traveling, hiking, reading and listening to music. More than anything else, she enjoys writing.
