Goodreads.com description:

The spell was simple …

CRUENTUS PROTECTUM. Defend the Blood.

But what do you do if your blood is your enemy?

Victoria Warrick has always known she was different. An outcast at school, she is no stranger to adversity. But when she receives an old journal for her seventeenth birthday, nothing prepares her for the dark secrets it holds—much less one that reveals she’s a witch with unimaginable power.

What’s more, when she meets the dazzling but enigmatic Christian Devereux, she has no idea how much her life is about to change. Enemies will hunt her. Friends will turn on her. The terrible curse that makes her blood run black will stop at nothing to control her. And Christian has a sinister secret of his own …

Without knowing whom to trust, can Victoria survive her blood’s deadly desires? Or will she lose everything, including herself?


Five reasons why I cannot wait for this to come out:
01. I adore this cover!! I know, we're not supposed to judge, but this is a good judge!
02. There are lots of good reviews on Goodreads.com about this book.
03. I'm following the author on Twitter and want to get a review of this on my blog.
04. Some reviews compare the author to Stephenie Meyer, concerning the book plot. I'll take that!
05. It just sounds good! And it's the start of a new series. I can't wait.

I love find a new series to read. I love reading the first book and deciding whether or not to continue. I get so involved with characters that I like finding a series that has been well-established already so I have a lot to get into right away if I like it. This one sounds pretty promising, so I really hope it is!! If you get to it before I do, I would love to hear what you think!
