REVIEW
So far, I have absolutely loved the
Knights Academy series, so I knew I had to read this instalment too! The cover
is gorgeous and the female on the front does fit the image of Myka that the
book gives you when reading it.
This book picks up with a still devastated
Myka. Just when she has found Francis, her grandmother the She-Wolf leader of
the pack that Myka should have grown up in and known all her life her
grandmother is killed by Preston the vampire henchman of Marcus Knight. Marcus,
headmaster of the Knight Academy is still after her and other female werewolves
of the pack to make a hybrids. They are quite literally sat waiting for him to
attack them again. Another problem Myka is facing is the fact she is expected
to marry the male werewolf born with the alpha mark, Colin. Myka is basically “going
through the motions” in that she has to appear to agree but she knows in her heart
will always belong to Brent, her beta in the pack. The vampires are helping the
wolves out with security. In fact, Myka has her own personal guard throughout
the book consisting of, one werewolf and one vampire. Dragon insists it is the
best way to protect the Princess.
There are some amazing emotional
sections in this book, between Brent and Myka trying to be together at every
opportunity. Brent is the support that Myka needs to get her through mourning the
loss of her grandmother.
There are quite a few heart to
hearts and poignant moments between Myka and Anna. Anna was both good friend
and maid to Francis, so is now the maid looking after Myka.
We don’t see or hear as much about
Olivia and Luka in this book, but they are still about and there when Myka
needs them.
Milo seems to finally getting over
the fact he and Myka are not together, nor will they be. In fact, Milo seems to
be ready to move on when his attention is caught by one of the female wolves.
It turns out that Dragon and Brent
are right to be on edge and guarding Myka from everyone, when someone in her
inner circle attempts to betray her and give her to Marcus Knight and his
followers.
Another character that has made it
on to my favourites list in this series is Sunni, a young werewolf with a
secret who approaches Myka with it, scared if it gets out, she could be made to
leave the pack and her aunt. Of course, I still love, Myka, and Olivia, along
with the brilliant book boyfriend options of Brent, Milo, Luka and Dragon!
Also mentioned in this book is that more
vampires and werewolves are needed to fight against Marcus. Dragon briefly
leaves his position as guard to go ask more vampires to join them. Though
Dragon never lets Myka down and when she is grave danger he has already
anticipated an attack and soon has the situation under control.
I really don’t want to say much more
about this book as it’s brilliant and I really do not want to give spoilers. I
can honestly say you will not be disappointed by this book.
To sum up, what more can I say I
totally adore this series!
When can we have
more??
