Dark Star

Dark Star

By Bethany Frenette

"Audrey Whitticomb has nothing to fear. Her mother is the superhero Morning Star, the most deadly crime-fighter in the Twin Cities, so it's hard for Audrey not to feel safe. That is, until she's lured into the sweet night air by something human and not human--something with talons and teeth, and a wide, scarlet smile. 

Now Audrey knows the truth: her mom doesn't fight crime at night. She fights Harrowers--livid, merciless beings who were trapped Beneath eons ago. Yet some have managed to escape. And they want Audrey dead, just because of who she is: one of the Kin. 

To survive, Audrey will need to sharpen the powers she has always had. When she gets close to someone, dark corners of the person's memories become her own, and she sometimes even glimpses the future. If Audrey could only get close to Patrick Tigue, a powerful Harrower masquerading as human, she could use her Knowing to discover the Harrowers' next move. But Leon, her mother's bossy, infuriatingly attractive sidekick, has other ideas. Lately, he won't let Audrey out of his sight. 

When an unthinkable betrayal puts Minneapolis in terrible danger, Audrey discovers a wild, untamed power within herself. It may be the key to saving her herself, her family, and her city. Or it may be the force that destroys everything--and everyone--she loves." Courtesy of Goodreads

This book was my second great surprise!

Suoerheroes. Demon-fighting superheroes.

I loved this book. Audrey is such a great character. She is witty, funny, and find trouble where ever she goes despite not actually looking for it. I hate that so much was hidden from her, but I'm not sure life would have been easier if she knew everything. I spent a of the book hoping she would be Called, but after the end, I'm not sure I will continue to hope that. After all, if she was called, she probably wouldn't need a Guardian.

Which brings me to Leon! He just seems so angry and upset at Audrey through the whole book for no reason. I'm not entirely convinced that it's just frustrated feelings for her either. I hope it is, because I don't see a reason to make her life anymore difficult than being chased by demons. I love them two together. I'm so ready for the next one. Hurry up February 25th!!!
