Stefanie's Review:
3.5-4 Stars

"You're my favorite monster Hanna. Of all the monsters in all world you're my favorite. You're feisty and spicy but deep down in a place you don't let anyone see, you're sweet too."

Let me start off with saying how much I loved Hanna. And, I loved all the characters in this story. There was some stuff that I didn't like. But, I'll get to that later.

The story begins with 18yr old Hanna locked in the trunk of a car. Her clothes are ripped 1/2 off and she's all bloody, dirty and does not remember how it all happened. Then, the car stops and Roland opens the trunk. Roland is her father's butler. She get's out and see's she is at her estranged fathers huge mansion.   Hanna goes inside and finds out her father is dying. He gives her his journals & a piece of paper with a formula on it. Then, Aimee comes in you remember Aimee, my favorite death dealer from book 1. Well, she kills Hanna's father and walks out without saying a word!!

Now, Hanna sits down to read her father's journals. She realizes that thing's aren't as they seem. Her father is Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde!! Then, she remembers how she ended up bloody, bruised and in the trunk of Roland's car. The more she reads her fathers journals. The more she realized he did love her and didn't give her up bc he hated her. She reads about Marcus. One of her dad's oldest friends. Marcus is THE Vampire Dracula!!!! 

The next POV  we get is Aleks. Which I was STOKED about!! I loved him in book 1 and was excited to hear thing's from his perspective. He is still all shook up on his feeling's for Aimee. But, realizes it's best to keep it the way it is. Then, he meet's Hanna.. He is instantly smitten with her. 

Hanna meet's Marcus and instantly feels a connection with him. One minute she's throwing herself at him. The next, she hates him and wants nothing to do with him. She knows he was helping her father find a cure to tame the beast inside of him. Now, he wants to help Hanna. All she has to do is give him a couple drops of her blood. She also meet's Andy the human cop. And Sam, the nephillam. Hanna went from the plain Jane girl next door. To the girl that guys were throwing themselves at. That's when we learn she's 1/2 beast and 1/2 Siren.

Remember Gisselle??!! She's back. Blake got her turned onto vampires!! Now, she BACK to fighting for her life. Luckily, for her here comes Aleks to save the day.. AGAIN..

There was so many good things about this book. I loved the characters Hanna, Aleks,  Marcus, Roland, Aimee, Sam, Gisselle, Lydia. I loved all the love triangles. All the using and abusing between everybody. The fact that you never really knew who's emotions were real and who's wasn't.  I like that 1 deal with the devil will drastically change everyone's lives. What I didn't like which I  was really bummed out about. We never got closure with the Ari, Lucas & Ben triangle. Or with the Aimee, Shane & Aleks triangle. I was really bummed about it. I hope I get something in the 4th book. I def had a crazy wave of emotions at the end of this story. It's a definate read!!!
