Review by Author Roy

This Young Adult
fantasy has a few of everything: bullies, witches, faes, werewolves, demons,
etc. Vengeful vampires seek to kill Ren - Cherry, the scholarship kids,
protect him.
Book 1, Cherry wants to be a loner but is thrown into a situation where she needs to mentor Ren, a rich spoiled brat. The scholarship kids, which she is a member of, wads off attacks on the academy.
It's a fast-paced first book in a series that left enough holes in the story for a reader to want to read Book 2. I hit the wrong button and got Book 2 free, so I read on after a break.
Book 2 read lost me about three-quarters of the way through. Cherry and Ren are abducted after becoming friendly with each other. This led to an ending that a young adult would want to continue.
Other than some mis-spellings and grammatical errors, Ms. Cotton's writing engages with paranormal events and little magic.
Fun, but not my cup of tea. I am an Old Adult. However, Young Adults should enjoy this fantasy.
