Hi guys, I hope you’re well this holiday season.
Today, i’m reviewing The Outcasts: The Blood Dagger (Volume One), by Misty Hayes.
If you love a good Paranormal Fantasy read, then this may be the one for you.
Story
The Outcasts: The Blood Dagger follows young Larna Collins on a summer trip to England. With her father having left years ago, Larna hopes she can find clues as to his whereabouts. However, upon arriving in England, she finds herself in mysterious company, and soon enough, mortal danger.
Characters
Larna was an interesting character. At first, I wasn’t sure I would grow to like her, however, she soon became a bad-ass and I found myself rooting for her all the way to the end. Both witty and a tactical thinker, she proves her worth again and again. She felt like a real person, like someone you might actually meet in secondary school.
To counter Larna, we have our villain, Gabriel Stanton, a mysterious and charming nightmare of a character. Although Gabriel maintains a pleasant enough façade in public, behind the scenes he is cruel and calculating, willing to do absolutely anything to get what he desires.
