When we meet Tori, she is a young witch just coming into her
powers. Far removed from the rest of the
magic world and with no mentor to guide her, she struggles to understand her abilities
and is blissfully unaware of the centuries-old mistrust and disgust between
witches and vampires. When she transfers
to a new high school to complete her senior year, she is quickly mesmerized by
the handsome and skilled violin player she keeps bumping into.
Christian is a refreshingly non-brooding vampire, though he does
despise the death and destruction that comes with being undead. By his own choice, he moved away from Paris
and the Council of Vampires and settled into a quieter life in Middle-Of-Nowhere,
Maine. He spends time doing what he
loves; learning, playing music, and conversing with humans at a combination high
school/college campus.
Inexplicably drawn to Tori on account of her
special blood (and its curse), Christian soon realizes she is the witch written
about in a vampire prophecy, the very witch his brother, Lucian, is searching
for.
Most of ‘Bloodspell’ is narrated by Tori, but every so often Christian
takes over the narration and we get to see inside his head, and details of his past. Their forbidden romance plays out differently
than most YA paranormal romances, which was also refreshing. Diving into the second book of this series
now, ‘Bloodcraft.’
