He's a vampire bad boy. She's a slayer's daughter who's never been kissed.
Kyle Logan has been a sixteen-year-old bad boy for three years, ever since he became a vampire. After a stint at the rehab center run by the Brothers of Temperance, Kyle has finally kicked his blood addiction. Now, he's back in high school with one goal in mind: stay clean so that he can grow up and become an animal rights activist.
Cassandra Xander wants two things in tenth grade: a car and the chance to attend a traditional high school. She loved being homeschooled growing up, especially since her family moved every six months for Helsing Incorporated, but now that her mother is founding a slayer training academy in La Jolla, California, Cassandra is excited by the opportunity to attend La Jolla Cove High.
When Kyle witnesses Cassandra give a verbal reckoning to a dog owner who leaves her beagle locked in a sweltering car, Kyle makes his move. He loves that Cassandra is smart, intense, and willing to break rules. But Cassandra has zero experience dating and isn't sure that a relationship with a hot-tempered vampire is a good place to start--especially when she discovers Kyle's secret ability. Kyle works hard to master his emotions and make all of Cassandra's high school dreams come true. Just when their romance brightens both of their lives, Kyle's past draws him back into darkness. The only way forward for these high school sweethearts is to slay or pay.
Homeschool Slayer to High School Sweetheart
Slay Me by Louise Cypress is another great read. I am so impressed with the whole little world that Ms. Cypress has created. In this book, we learn a lot more about vampires and what would happen if a vampire is a vegan as a human and even more now as a vampire. Out of these three books so far in the Puritan Coven Series, I have to say Slay Me is my favorite. Just like with Bite Me and Hunt Me we have two different points of views, the hero and heroine.
Kyle
The first main character that we meet in this book is Kyle. We learned about him at the end of the Hunt Me when Gwen was talking about him and he is a pretty great guy. Kyle is very passionate about being a vegan, protecting nature and animals rights. He’s very serious about these things and with how he feels about Cassie. What I like about Kyle is that he does care about the environment and want to protect it. What I don’ like about Kyle is that he didn’t trust Cassandra enough to confirm that she is doing everything that she can to help him with his situation.
Cassandra
The second main character in this book is Cassandra. We met Cassandra in the first book as the daughter of a slayer, a regular human, and the sister of Van. We don’t really get much interaction with Cassandra in Bite Me but what we see of her is that she is a very smart and athletic girl who can hold her own in a fight. Cassandra also has always wanted to go to a regular school much like her older brother Van. What I like about Cassandra is that she will tell you the truth even if the truth isn’t what you want to hear. What I don’t like about Cassandra is that she has big time self-doubt and lacks the confidence to make friends at times.
Bad Guy
Just like with Bite Me and Hunt Me I can’t really reveal much about the bad guy in Slay Me. However, it actually wasn’t a total shocker. You’ll just have to read Slay Me by Louise Cypress to find out who the bad guy is.
Five Stars
Slay Me by Louise Cypress is a wonderful book. Ms. Cypress did a great job with this series. I especially enjoyed following Kyle’s progress as a Puritan vampire and how Cassandra copes in a regular high school. I am giving this book a five-star review as it was so so good and had me laughing throughout the whole thing.
Anyways until the next time enjoy this review brought to you by
