19 year
old Emylene Stipe, a 2nd generation Goth, is shaken to the core when her
make-believe world turns out to be real.
My Review
I received a free copy of
this novel in exchange for my honest review.
Emylene
Stipe, is considered a Goth Princess by the Gothic community. Her parents Theo and Vandy run a very
profitable Goth nightclub where they are considered royalty. On a quest, parcially to find herself, and to
rebel, Emylene moves into an apartment of her own, this is when her life gets
turned upside down. She meets a young
girl with no name with huge secrets that could destroy Emylene’s world.
This isn’t a
sunshine and roses romantic vampire story.
Those are pretty predictable and I was really pleased to see something
fresh and unique. This was an intriguing
novel that held me captive for hours on end.
Emylene is a really gutsy main character; she has bravery beyond her
years. This was an amazing novel, rich
in history that keeps you guessing until the very end. This is a must read and one of my favorites
for this year.
