Powerful vampires.
Strange allies.
It's hell being a teenager, especially if vampires are hunting you.
Larna Collins had never understood why her dad skipped out on her and her mother when she was twelve years old. Until then, he was a devoted and loving father. But six years later, during a renovation of her childhood home, she unearths her father's journal from under a floorboard. According to his final entry, he had recently visited a small parish in England before he left.
The entries drew her to this quaint village, which Larna discovers isn't as charming as its blood-craving inhabitants want her to believe, and she learns that she isn't the only one trying to track her father down.
Could this explain her father's disappearance? Or was placing her in the center of danger her dad's master plan all along?

About the author

Misty Hayes has always had a thing for escaping headfirst into fantastical books. This is what led her to start writing her own adventures down. As someone who has spent a long career in law enforcement, Misty loves strong female protagonists. She also directs short films and claims to have been bitten by the traveling bug (not mistaken for a radioactive spider).
When Misty isn't filming or roaming the planet or diving into another novel, she's spending time at home in Texas with her myriad of nieces and nephews in tow.
The Blood Dagger Series is a multiple award-winning high-octane Young Adult Paranormal trilogy.
The Outcasts has received recognition for a Literary Titan award, IndieBRAG Medallion, 2018 solo medalist winner of the New Apple Literary Awards for YA Fantasy, and 2019 2nd place winner of the North Texas Book Festival in YA Fantasy. The Watchers was the 2020 2nd place winner of the North Texas Book Festival in Teen Fiction.
Ascended Guardians series is a spin-off of The Blood Dagger Trilogy, and the first book, Shield & Shade, is out now.

This book is well written and well paced. The chapters just fly by. I came to really care about the other characters in the book and I'm really looking forward to Volume 2.
If you like vampires and young adult books you will like this one. Or if you are like me and you left the "young adult" phase of your life in the rear view years ago it still has a lot to offer. The book is full of interesting, likeable characters and the story is fast-paced and keeps you turning the pages. I highly recommend this book.


I'm looking foward to the second book in this series.
(I got this book for free in exchange for an honest spoiler free review)

I was worried that I may not like the book due to it being more for the "younger crowd" but let me tell you, the moment I opened this book and started reading, I was pulled in. When you're introduced to the main character, Larna, you instantly find yourself relating to her. I feel like everyone in their life has at least once felt as she does. I feel like the greatest aspect of this book is Misty's ability to describe things so you feel like you're there. Her words put you in the book. It's very well written and kept me from wanting to put it down. It's one I think all ages would absolutely enjoy. The ending does leave you hanging so get Volume 2 as well so you can keep reading!!
