[Lindsey Gray]

The premise of this series is seriously intriguing. Enter young Bay-Lee Bishop: the daughter of a VanHelsing. The VanHelsing's are an elite family at the top of the food chain of Montster Hunter's. After a few disturbing visitors show up in Bay-Lee's room one night, she ends up looking into how things work in the Spirit Realm. Those events land her where she's always wanted to be, VanHelsing's school for Monster Hunters.

Things get even crazier from there. The story twists and turns in ways you can never imagine. Bay-Lee's role in a prophecy with the Warrior Hunter, Nick Gallos, had me guessing what would happen from chapter one. There were surprises on each page and I loved every word. My brain would try to skip ahead and predict what would happen, but I was astounded at every turn. The story played out in a completely different direction than I anticipated which has me hungry for more.

The writing was smooth with crisp and entertaining dialogue, especially between Bay-Lee and Nick. A wonderful YA Paranormal read. I will warn you though, this school is no Hogwarts. These Monster Hunters mean business. The orientation could be deadly at this school and there is no sorting hat to distinguish your rank. Bay-Lee starts at the bottom of the barrel as Bait.
