Book #1 of "All the Pretty Monsters" series
Gypsy Blood is a fantastic book with the coolest plot ever! The story was so intriguing.
Rating: 5/5 (AMAZING)
Spoiler Alert: None
Summary:
I'm not all that special, really. Or uncommon. I'm sure there are a lot of girls with old gypsy blood who see the dead, have killer cults hunting their family, and turn into something that gets scary when they panic. Yep. Completely unoriginal, if I do say so myself.
Move along. Nothing to see here. Nope. I'm just an ordinary girl.
I wish people would believe that.
I've been labelled as one thing or another for most of my life:
Death Girl.
Crazy Gypsy Girl.
Gothic Chick.
Monster...
It took my mother's death for me to finally start getting answers about what's really been going on. Unfortunately, most of the answers come from men...who aren't just men. Somehow, I've gone and landed myself in a world truly filled with monsters, and I'm starting to think this is where I should have been all along.
Only...I don't understand what's going on. I'm walking into the middle of a story that's thousands of years old, and I'm the new girl on the block who doesn't have a clue how this world even works. My only guides happen to be the most lethal of the bunch.
They decide who lives or dies. They decide who gets stabbed or tortured.
Yeah...
I've gone and drawn attention to myself, and the ones paying attention are the ones everyone else seems to fear.
How do these things always happen to me?
Review:
Absolutely amazing! I read this book and the whole series (it's a six-book series) twice already because it's just so good. Throughout this book, we're introduced to an innocent gypsy who's discovering her place in the world of monsters. Anyone reading this is in for a hilarious, action-packed novel! There are so many plot twists and surprises, it keeps you on the edge of your seat. I'm not even kidding. This book is so funny, I laughed so hard each time I read it. The four monsters Violet meets are all swoon-worthy and they just make the story even better! Fantastic job to Kristy Cunning!
Happy Reading!
Cheers,
Jessica :)
