Week 8 Review: The Unearthly

From Goodreads:

The first time I was declared dead, I lost my past. The second time, I lost my humanity. Now I'm being hunted, and if I die again, my soul is up for forfeit.

After enrolling in Peel Academy, an elite supernatural boarding school on the British Isles, the last of the sirens, Gabrielle Fiori, only wants to fit in. Instead, the elixir meant to awaken her supernatural abilities kills her.

When Gabrielle wakes up in the morgue twelve hours later, something wicked is awakened in her, something even the supernatural community has never seen before. Now the only person who can help her is Andre de Leon, the community's infamous bad boy and the king of vampires.

Yet even his help can't prevent the repeated attempts on Gabrielle's life. Someone is after her, and they will stop at nothing to end her short existence. Only Gabrielle cannot let that happen now that her soul hangs in the balance, because she may have met the devil. And he wants her. Bad.

The Unearthly is a YA novel that will appeal to fans of paranormal romance and those who love vampire novels. 

My Review:
This was such a great read! This was published before the Bargainer series, I just wish that I'd read it first, but I'm getting to it before the next series set in this world gets published! But I need to get a move on, because there's 4 more books in this series to read before Bewitched comes out in April! 

I'm pretty sure that at least part of Rhapsodic's flashbacks took place at Peel Academy. So it was really great to be there again. Getting to explore this part of this world, with Gabrielle's powers, that was so interesting to read! 

Gabrielle is the last siren. That there's also her vampire heritage, and has to deal with soulmate stuff, yeah, she has a lot going on. Learning how to be a vampire, and how her powers work, while also dealing with Andre...yeah, that was a lot of fun to read! It was sometimes a little annoying, the way things happened, it was pretty easy to tell this was her first published book, so it was understandable, but it was still irksome when I noted something that didn't make sense. 

Things were set up in this book, that I'm really excited to see where they go from here! A lot happened in this book, and I can't wait to explore more of this world! With all the threats that she faced, it's going to be interesting to see how the stakes are raised! Because man, the bad guy in this book, trying to avoid the prophecy, pretty much brought it on in his attempts to prevent it from happening, so I'm excited to see what the future brings! 

I had such a great time reading this book, and I can't wait to continue on!
