An Irish heritage, Celtic myth, and deadly beauty
In eighth grade, Brianna did something so dreadful she was suspended and homeschooled. No one could explain what happened that night . . . except Brianna’s Irish grandmother, who gave her a silver charm bracelet and told her to wear it until she turned seventeen. Ever since she slipped it on, Brianna has felt like she’s invisible. People stare right past her as if she doesn’t exist. And that includes Blake Williams, the one boy she can’t resist.
But everything changes in one frozen, silver moment when Blake sees her—and recognizes what she’s been hiding. Brianna is descended from Danu, the legendary Bandia of Celtic myth. Yet before she can fully understand who or what she is, Brianna accidentally binds her soul to Blake—whose tribe has spent the last thousand years hunting Danu’s descendants to protect humanity.

Talia Vance is an author I just started reading and I think she’d become one of the authors I will be reading for a long time. Vance has a creative mind and I love the originality of this book. I can’t wait for book two, because there were so many questions left unanswered, so much more than meets the eye. My only question is, can Brie really end it all? How? Love? Sacrifice? Death? Whose death? Only book two will bring us closer to this truth. This book was fascinating.
