Summary: (from goodreads) Seventeen-year-old Savannah Henderson has but one dream - to hold the Olympic gold in saber fencing. A new fencing coach promises to make her Olympic dream a reality. However, he is not what he seems and she finds her life taking a bizarre, dangerous turn as she is thrust headlong into a war between two impossible, mythical species, one bent on destroying the human race, the other determined to protect it.

I have been blessed to read amazingly enjoyable books back to back and I can not wait to tell you about this one. This story was written by two sisters under the name Gabrielle Blue. The story takes place in Bonita Springs, Florida!! Yay!! Being from Florida, I was excited to read and compare what the story described to the real thing, and it does not disappoint. Savannah is a teenage girl in her third year of high school with a dream of winning the fencing championship with her saber. She gets closer to living the dream when she lands the best fencing coach Aaron Sloan, and to make it even better, Aaron has a son named Luke who’s a total hottie. Savannah has a best friend named Taylor. Taylor does not have the same interests as Savannah as she’s into singing and boys, but that does not stop these two from being inseparable. When a terrible accident happens and Savannah is attacked and marked for death, Savannah begins to learn the truth behind the Sloan's family tree and things start getting REALLY interesting. I especially loved Savannah’s pet parrot, Roxy, who made me laugh the entire time. Super cute. This story was nothing like I Imagine and I am really glad I gave it a shot. This story will give you romance, mystery and make you laugh tons. I highly recommend this book to all readers, it will not disappoint.
