Pretty When She Kills (Pretty When She Dies #2) [Kindle Edition]

Rhiannon Frater (Author)

Book Description

Amaliya Vezorak never believed in happy endings…

When Amaliya harnessed her necromancer powers to defeat her greatest enemy, she believed she had finally found a happy ending with Cian, her lover and the master of Austin. That happiness is short-lived when the vampire ruling over San Antonio attempts a takeover of Austin in order to capture Amaliya and use her power for his own devices.

To make matters worse, Samantha, Cian’s ex-fiancée, is seeing ghosts, the untested vampire hunters of Austin are running scared as a supernatural war looms, a mysterious man is hunting Amaliya with the help of her one time lover, Pete, and Rachoń, the Summoner’s favorite progeny, appears to be out for revenge.

When Amaliya’s grandmother, a powerful medium, experiences terrible visions that reveal there is another necromancer vampire and she is crying out for help, Amaliya realizes happy endings do not come easily…

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Vampire Horror Series - A Definite Must Read! September 21, 2012

By Stephanie Ward TOP 1000 REVIEWER

Format:Kindle Edition

'Pretty When She Kills' is the second book in the paranormal horror trilogy that focuses on our heroine, Amaliya, as she continues adjusting to her new life as a vampire. Aside from being turned in the first book, Amaliya figures out that she is also a necromancer (awesome!) and had to defeat her enemy. Not everything was bad - she also fell in love with Cian, the vampire master of Austin. In this second installment, Amaliya is faced with even more problems as a huge paranormal war seems imminent, she is being hunted by a mysterious man and the progeny of the Summoner, and now her grandmother is having horrifying visions of another necromancer vampire. Will Amaliya ever get a shot at peace and a happy ending?

This book, like the first in the series, is incredibly well written. It is fast paced and flows effortlessly - making it a literal page turner. There are so many completely awesome things going on - a necromancer vampire!? - that the reader is immediately immersed in the world that the author has created. Our heroine, Amaliya, is witty and so badass. She doesn't take crap from anyone and tackles problems without (much) fear. All the characters are unique and have their own personalities - they are very realistic and easy to identify with, even though most of them are supernatural. There are so many twists and multiple plot lines going on throughout the novel that you are kept on your toes the entire time and keeps you trying to figure out what will happen next. I honestly can't say enough good things about this series. It's one of the most interesting and engaging horror/paranormal series that I've ever read. This is the first I've read of Rhiannon's work, and I'm now completely hooked and I may begin stalking her. If you haven't read this series - START NOW!... You definitely won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bloody wonderful March 24, 2013

By Lowcountry Book Lover

Format:Kindle Edition

"The girl stood drenched in blood in the center of the graveyard." That, my friends, is how you begin a book about vampires.

All of the major players from PWSD are back - Amaliya, Cian, Innocente, Sam, Jeff, Sergio. Even some of the secondary characters play a more major role - Pete, Rachon. And, we meet Bianca, Eduardo, Cassandra, Aimee and more.

Others are after Amaliya for her powers. She and her own Scooby Gang have to fight the big bads to not only save her but also....well, I don't want to give anything away. Let's just say that there is some major butt-kicking and heartache in PWSK.

Things I loved most:

- Sam learning to use her new power.

- Adding Cassandra and Aimee to the mix (along with Cassandra's unexpected connection to Cian.)

- Jeff and Sam advancing their relationship.

- Learning more about Rachon.

If you love vampire novels, you need to read this series. Go ahead, you know you want to. 5/5 stars.

Thank you to the author for providing an E-copy in exchange for an honest review.
