This is the third novel in the Blood Coven series. I have
reviewed the first two books as well.
Rayne is back and this time she has to join the cheerleaders for
Slayers Inc. Not for any slaying vampires job, but because they are
growling. Not to mention a member of the football team is missing.
This isn't the only thing that Rayne has on her hands. Jareth has
become the complete opposite of what he used to be when he couldn't
walk in the sunlight.
Rayne becoming a cheerleader? Yeah it happens. Completely out of
the blue. But it wasn't that bad, there were some funny moments as
Rayne blackmails one of the cheerleaders into getting her and another
girl onto the team. Even bigger shocker is that Rayne stays on
the team! Throughout the book Rayne learns new things about herself,
and she figures out that things need to change for the better. Which
I liked because she is growing up, no more is the little girl who
judges people based on the clique they are in. Jareth is someone who
helps her see this too, along with Mandy (a girl on the cheerleading
team, the one she blackmailed). *SPOILER-ALERT* Though Jareth has to
go about it quite differently he has to break her heart and make the
reader sad when he breaks up with her. It is short lived thankfully,
and they get back together. *SPOILER-ENDED*
I didn't really like how easy it was for Rayne to figure out a
cure for the cheerleading squad, and their predicament. It was about
4 pages, then problem sloved! Just have to go give it to them,
without them actually knowing. It disappointed me, because it seemed
like everything about this book was a simple fix. Nothing lasted very
long, and the big problem in the book was fixed in seconds. I was
hoping for more of a struggle with the main problem. The main
struggle was with Rayne and her accepting things. I understand that
but even that was almost a quick and easy fix it seemed.
Overall this was a easy read. I finished it quickly and didn't
have a problem understanding anything. I wanted more of a struggle
with the main plot, but I did pick this up from the "Teen"
section of my library. That is probably why. Though I was
disappointed with this book a little I would read it again just for
the laughs that I got form it every now and then. Macusi is a very
good writer and she does keep the reader engaged. This book was not
left as a cliffhanger, so I am unsure what the next book is going to
be about. There is a subtle hint in the book before the end, but even
that doesn't really make for a cliffhanger because the reader is more
interested about what is happening at the time the hint is dropped.
Rating: 3 out of 5.
