I, Marianela Mielcarek, was royalty, groomed to lead the Mielcarek Coven, until I was betrayed by my brother, Marcario. I brought bloodshed and death to any who bowed to my brother by waging a war unlike any my people had ever witnessed. Foolishly, I allowed my ambitions to get the better of me and now I must plan my escape from my new prison and reclaim my coven.My brother has granted me one … has granted me one last chance to redeem myself and prove that I am worthy to rule beside him on his stolen throne. Little does he know that I have other plans.
Romance is the last thing on my mind, though a few handsome faces fighting on my side couldn’t hurt. If only my former betrothed can see things my way, I might have a future with him, unless he kills me first.

This was an Ok read but it just lacked a certain spark that was needed to make it a good read.
I really liked this story. Some steamy parts and lots of action. My kind of book. I liked Marianela. Little blood thirsty. But that was fine with me. Really liked the entire storyline. Especially the ending. This book is part of the Wicked Reform school series. Books aren’t connected but set in same academy. Highly recommend this one.
wow loving the shared universe here. I’ve read a few in the series now and this book does not disappoint at all. Love vampire books anyway so this was a bonus to me. I love Marianela and her guys. The story was entertaining and the character development good. Very nice
I loved this book! Marianela is a fantastic FMC who is strong and badass! The transformation that she goes through throughout the book is amazing and I loved it. I loved all the guys as well. The storyline is awesome and kept me glued to my Kindle. There are plenty of twists and turns, surprises, and intrigue. I cannot wait to see where this story will go next.
3.5 stars
Throughout this book Marianela learned lessons on politics, trust and loyalties and had to figure out what kind of person she wanted to be. There was some angst, drama and relationship issues thrown into the mix as well. When faced with a hard truth about her past and the reasoning behind these events, Marianela needs to decide which path to walk along.
This book was an entertaining read and although in some instances it felt as though I should have read another book first to get more information on the characters backgrounds, it was easy enough to keep up with the storyline and events in this book.
Twisted, wronged, and seeking revenge, Marianela is trying to reclaim her birthright while fighting enemies on many fronts. She’s not sure who to trust, who to believe, or just which way is up some days. She grew up expecting to rule, was broken and molded to do just that, then her brother ruined those plans with such bitter betrayal she lost her way.
Silvijn is the general who helped her leave a bloody swathe across the land, only to fail at the door of victory. They were once betrothed and lovers, now there is bitterness and disappointment.
Talen is a raven shifter, weaker than most shifters at Wicked Reform and an easy target. Marianela feels a soft spot because of her family’s history with ravens in the past. Of course, it helps that he’s easy on the eyes and listens where no one else has in quite a while.
Haines is a witch and blacksmith. A face from Marianela’s past. Another man she once saved. Now he just may be the one to save her.
Three men, enemies all around, and a desire to lead that won’t quit. Can Marianela find herself, stay sane, avoid the attempts on her life, and decide if there is time for love in all of that? There are twists and turns along the way that will keep you guessing. A page-turner I couldn’t put down.
