Bleeding Hearts
By Alyxandra Harvey
Publisher: Bloomsbury Australia
It’s not easy being the new girl in town, and Christabel
Llewellyn is certainly that. She’s new to Violet Hill, new to the country life,
and new to vampires. Which, considering she’s Lucy Hamilton’s cousin, is going
to prove problematic… Lucy’s boyfriend is one of the Drake brothers, her best
friend is a Drake princess, and all of the Drakes are vampires.
But they aren’t the only undead to reside in Violet Hill.
The town is infested with a very different and entirely more dangerous type of
feral vampire, the Hel-Blar. And when
Christabel is kidnapped by their leader and held to ransom, the Drakes are
forced into action.
My review
Bleeding Hearts is the 4th book in the highly
addictive Drake Chronicles series. In Bleeding Hearts we are introduced to
Christabel Llewellyn and Conner Drake. Christabel has moved to Violet Hill to
live with her cousin, Lucy Hamilton (girlfriend to Nicholas Drake) and has no
idea that Lucy’s friends from when she visited as a child are actually
vampires. But little does she know that
a case of mistaken identity (where Christabel is thought to be Lucy as she is
driving her car) will lead her on a very dangerous journey into the world of
vampirism, and not just any vampires but Hel-Blar , the worst of the worst.
Entre Conner the geeky twin brother of Quinn who upon seeing Christabel decided
that he likes her. And upon learning that she has been taken drops everything
and follows her scent to her kidnappers. What comes after is a story filled
with many twists and turns, a quirky search and rescue mission that only the
Drake family could accomplish, the discovery of a new breed of vampire, new
love, fights galore, a doozy of an announcement from Lucy to her parents
(seriously I didn’t see that coming) and a ripper epilogue that will leave you
OMGing.
This series just
gets better and better with each book. As I have said in other reviews for
these books, I love how we get to read about the other characters that we have
read about in previous books. In Bleeding Hearts the book is told in the POV’s
of Conner, Lucy and Christabel. I always love diving into to learn more about
one of the Drake family and how different they all are, as well as finding out
more about Lucy and now learning about Christabel who is someone who hasn’t
grown up or knows anything about vampires.
I am so glad that I started this series after all the
books have been written because the wait to read the next book in this series
would have been agonising. But I will
now be diving into the next book very soon so the wait isn’t bad at all.
5/5
