5 supernatural
stars!
After
her father is killed by a vampire, right in front of her, Jemma Blackburn’s
life gets a little chaotic. She’s placed
in a psychiatric facility and then relocated to live with her mysterious uncle
and attend a posh prep school in Hollow Hills.
Slowly, she discovers that she’s not crazy, vampires *are* real, and
that there are more supernatural beings in Hollow Hills than she could have
ever imagined.
Jemma
learns that there are a few different hierarchies of angels, demons, vampires, witches,
and shifters. She also learns her family’s
role in this hidden, supernatural world.
These explanations are easy to follow, and the characters are quite likable, even with their healthy amount of high school drama.
Author
Bianca Scardoni is an incredibly skilled wordsmith. Both ‘Inception’ and its sequel, ‘Invidious’ are
narrated by high school student Jemma Blackburn, but her thoughts never border
on immature or whiny. Scardoni has a
wonderful ability to transform words into vivid images, allowing readers to
visualize the strange and beautiful new settings Jemma finds herself in.
‘Inception’
is an addictive must-read for all vampire, shifter, angel/demon, witch, and supernatural
romance lovers, as well as ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ fans.
