Review: Secret Lives by Gabriella Poole
Title: Secret Lives (Darke Academy #1)
Author: Gabriella Poole
Released: 2009
Publisher: Hodder and Stoughton
Rating: 3.5 to 4 stars
Pages: 288
I quite liked this book. Probably a 3.5 or possibly a 4 star. It actually surprised me, which for many avid readers it is quite a feat to be achieved by a book, ever since I found this book I was thinking, it's vampires and it was and it wasn't. I'm not quite sure yet, it gives me incentive to read the next book.
I liked Cassie enough but she seemed a bit too I'm-great-and-solve-this-all-on-my-own. I liked her more towards the end of the book.
I really liked Isabella, she wasn't afraid of any of the Few or anyone else for that matter but still was fun and just there and like the little heiress I'd expected.
The Few creeped me out for a while, especially Richard. Couldn't tell what the hell he was like. I overall enjoyed this book.
I recommend it to Vampire Academy fans especially because it has the same feel as St. Vladimir's did but was still very different. Also to Half-Blood/Covenant-Series fans, ditto. I will definitely be reading Blood Ties.
Thank Naminé
