The Coveted (Unearthly, #2)

The Coveted was darker, and probably slightly better than the first book! It’s a few weeks later, Gabrielle is back in school and she’s working for the Politia (Supernatural Police!). She wants to show that vampires aren’t all evil, and they want to keep an eye on her. Especially when bodies that have been drained of blood start showing up. Gabrielle is immediately cleared, but she has to solve this case before the truce between vampires and the other supernaturals is revoked, and they’re all hunted to extinction.

I quite enjoyed The Coveted. It was more of a paranormal murder mystery than the first book. There appears to be a serial killer on the loose, but no one can find a pattern behind the murders. The only obvious connection other than being drained of blood is that the bodies were laid out in the formation of various religious symbols. On top of that, Gabrielle has been getting nighttime visitors in the form of Incubi! And her friend Leanne has been acting really weird, like she saw something bad coming up. All of these things must be connected, and Gabrielle is going to figure out how before she’s the next victim.

The Coveted was another quick, fun read in this series. I kind of missed seeing the school since most of the story takes place at crime scenes or public places. It was interesting to learn about more supernatural beings this time around though with the introduction of demons. The ending is a tiny cliffhanger. Gabrielle and friends do solve the mystery and take care of the perpetrator temporarily, but it’s not over yet.
