Review! Pretty When She Destroys by Rhiannon Frater

Amaliya Vezorak always believed she was destined to live a failed life in obscurity until she was brutally murdered by an ancient vampire named The Summoner and reborn as a powerful vampire necromancer.

The Summoner’s power did not diminish with his death. His long-laid plans are about to bring an endless night to the world, and once the veil between the living and the abyss collapses, reality will be forever altered. The followers of The Summoner are preparing to claim dominion over humanity, which spells doom for Amaliya's new world and everyone she cares about.


As Amaliya, Cian, and the others prepare for their final battle, it becomes increasingly clear that their ragtag group of humans and supernaturals will have to face the forces of The Summoner alone. Though the cabal is growing stronger in their abilities, they are depending on Amaliya to lead them to victory.

Now the young woman who spent most of her life running away from trouble has to save the world.

Picking up where Pretty When She Kills leaves off, this conclusion to the trilogy was as kick-ass as the others.

Frater's characters are all so unique that it's almost hard to believe they are figments of her imagination. And while I didn't like them all, I was most surprised by my feelings regarding Samantha taking a one-eighty. And she's not the only character to grow and gain even more depth. Every member of Cian's ragtag cabal is pretty amazing, but my favorite is Aimee, who is adorable with Cass. I'm sort of jealous of her abilities and power.

This book is action packed, and is brimming with all kinds of magic, which I find beautiful.

Like the other two books in the series, it needs the help of an editor, who can clean up the typos and word usage.

However, fans of the Pretty When She Dies series will love the tale Frater weaves with this book. The entire series is a must-read for fans of dark magic, vampires, and witches.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
