Bleed
Dax Varley
I was given this book for free through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This is also one of my books that counts for Booktuber-a-thon, happening this week.
Bleed is a story about a girl named Miranda who bleeds from her palms uncontrollably, a curse she's had since she was nine. When he family is involved in a scandal, she moves to Huston, Texas and starts going to a school nicknamed "Suicide High", due to the mass amount of unexplainable suicides in the past year. Miranda meets Jake, a cute guy with physic abilities. When Jake and Miranda realize that the suicides are being caused by a higher force of evil, they team up with other kids who have strange powers do bring peace back to their school.
This book is a great YA read, with supernatural elements and a huge plot twist at the end that one can't possibly see coming. It has romance in it, which even gets a little hot and heavy at points, as well as a lot of cursing, so younger readers be warned. Overall I completely enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone. My only complaint is that Varley's writing style is a bit unrealistic. The characters sometimes say things that real teenagers wouldn't actually say and it makes the scenes cheesy. However I would still give this book an 8/10 because of the way it captivates readers and successfully blends humor and horror.
This book will be released on September 1st, 2015, and will be available wherever books are sold, as well as on mobile platforms.
Thank you very much to Dax Varley as well as Garden Gate Press for choosing me to send a review copy too. Also thank you very much for reading another one of my reviews, and I will be back with more reviews in the future. Adios!
