My Review:
Imogen Rose has done it again. I have never been so engrossed in a series as I am when it comes to this series. I love everything about it and am always left wanting more. The writing is just amazing and she gets you so invested in the characters that you don't want to leave this amazing world. We start this book off by entering back into the awesome world that is Bonfire Academy. We are greeted again by Cordelia who is now actually a faculty member at the Academy and working as an apprentice for Professor Bern. She also gets to help continue to mentor Faustine. Once again I am amazed by just how powerful and cool Cordelia is. She is truly a force to be reckoned with. She is brave,strong and compassionate. The relationship she has with Faustine is so real and like a real big sister little sister relationship.
Cordelia and Faustine unfortunately have to deal with the fact that someone is trying to hurt the demon princesses. They start receiving haiku's that spell out danger. I loved the fact that the haiku's were so brillantly written and fit in so well with the story. They added the right about of mystery. Cordelia also has to come to grips about her syncing with Jagger and has to let go of Quinn. I have to say my heart broke along with Quinn's when she broke up with him even though her and Jagger are meant to be. Cordelia finds that after that breakup things get really interesting and she suddenly has a lot going on. The biggest issue is trying to find out who is after the girls.
Faustine has really grown up and it was great seeing her going through her integration program to try to control her powers. She has a major slip up through that leads to some unforeseen events. The results of this action lead to Faustine really having to learn how to control herself. I loved seeing how much Faustine's dad truly cared for her and his ability to drop everything to help her out. It was such a loving relationship that they shared and great to see it play out throughout the story.
Overall Imogen Rose has created another amazing installment of the Bonfire Academy Series. I loved seeing all the characters back and all their interactions. It was great seeing them all grow up and come into their own. This series had the right mix of suspense and ramped up action along with romances. The writing flowed so well together and the plot was on point. I loved having another great glimpse into the Bonfire world. I have to say that I think Imogen Rose may have out done herself with this one. I can't wait to read the next book as we were left with the cliffhanger ending. Oh Imogen why do you torture us so? It's ok as I know the next book will make up for it. I highly recommend this book to others.
