Hunter Wild comes from a long line of vampire hunters and she's a star student at the Helios-Ra Academy, which trains students to kill evil (Hel-Blar) vampires. Politics are more complicated, though, now that the Helios-Ra have made peace with the local Drake vampire clan. After Hunter gets a special invitation to a vampire coronation, she starts to feel conflicted about how her conscience aligns with her loyalties to her family and her colleagues. Meanwhile, students at the school start to get mysteriously ill and Hunter starts to work with Quinn Drake in an attempt to discover the cause.
I didn't realize at first that this is actually the third in the Drake Chronicles series; each book follows different main characters, so I thought that they might stand alone, but I'm fairly certain I missed out on some critical story lines by starting in the middle. However, the story was interesting and the characters were believable. This was a quick read that was relatively light, while dealing with some complex issues. I would recommend it to fantasy readers who enjoy stories set in the real world that deal with the supernatural, or who like strong female characters and a bit of action. This book reminded me of the Vampire Academy series - the world building and writing style were similar - so if you liked those, you may also enjoy the Drake Chronicles.
The Drake Chronicles books: Hearts at Stake, Blood Feud, Out for Blood, Bleeding Hearts, Blood Moon, Blood Prophecy.
