About this listen
"A perfect mix of MAGIC, VAMPIRES, STAR-CROSSED LOVE, and writing as SHARP AND DEADLY a spear."—Nisha J. Tuli, author of Trial of the Sun Queen
THE THRILLING ROMANTASY FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR LAUREN BLACKWOOD!
One vampire to kill. Another to love.
War doesn’t scare Jerusalem. She’s a Saint. Thanks to powerful demigod-style reflexes, endurance, and strength, she’s fearless. And she has one goal—revenge.
But she never expects to team up with the handsome, arrogant Alexei to accomplish it. He’s one of those Ancient Vampires. And ever since her family was enslaved and murdered by one, Jerusalem hates vampires.
But in the year they've been fighting alongside one another against the Confederate Army and the vampires who benefitted off slavery, Alexei’s never done anything but prove he’s on the Union’s side and hers. She may know the enemy better, hate the enemy more than anyone in her battalion, but so does he. And she’ll use that to her advantage. Because if she can get her revenge by helping Black people gain freedom and equality without having to steal it for themselves like she had to, then all the better.
Together, she and Alexei set out to change the course of the war, risking their hearts and themselves as they attempt to take down the vampire who destroyed everyone Jerusalem held dear. But for Jerusalem, it’s about more than love and justice.
It's about killing a god.

"Lauren Blackwood breathes new life to the vampire myth in this captivating tale full of historical rage with a satisfying bite of revenge."—Nisha J. Tuli, author of Trial of the Sun Queen
"A bit like Twilight meeting Dread Nation... Slipping between both Jerusalem and Alexei’s pasts and presents, the novel vividly depicts how the violence of the past catches up with the characters’ present day."—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Story
For most of her life, Isabeau and her five best friends were inseparable—amazingly enough, the six girls even shared a birthday. Then a rift caused their friendships to fracture, and Iz lost everyone except Reuel, the only one who didn’t abandon her. Until now. The night of their sixteenth birthday, Isabeau leaves Reuel sitting on her front porch and heads home—and in the morning, Reuel is missing. She’s gone for two days, and when she reappears, there’s something wrong with her. She’s sick. Really sick. And she doesn’t remember anything that happened while she was gone.

What a ride?!
Wow! I didn't know what to expect with this one. It was a pleasant surprise. The surprise was it was a YA novel with zero spice but I enjoyed it anyway. It was action packed. The plot was perfectly paced. The characters were developed. This was my first read by this author but it won't be my last.

Roller Coaster Ride
The characters in this book will live in my consciousness as an example of enduring love, hope, and critical truths about the transatlantic slavery in 🇺🇸. Get your spear, you will need it for this adventure.

Entertaining but Not Necessarily Historically Accurate
I was able to approve this book for our school library. I loved the overall storyline. The characters were alive and popping out of the speakers. However, I found the historical inaccuracies very distracting. I enjoyed the diversity this story represented.
