 Review 
 Here are a few facts about The Dark Heroine by Abigail Gibbs. 
 1. You are guaranteed to hate Kasper for at least the first 100 pages. Then you move on to strongly disliking him and continue to have your opinion of him elevated throughout the book. You don't end up liking him by the end, but will probably think he's hot; an ass, but a hot one all the same. He's not a complex character. He is pretty much a hot guy with issues and a severe entitlement complex. He's not some deep and emotionally misunderstood character, but rather feels that his position and status entitle him to do whatever he wants. 
 2. Even though this book has a vampire that falls in love with a human, The Dark Heroine is not Twilight version 2.0! Please, if you have read Twilight, forget it before you start reading The Dark Heroine. The only similarity between the two books are the vampires. humans, and a bit of a love triangle. There is no wussy male main character, no boring as watching paint dry female main character in this book. What you do have is a bunch of dynamic characters and a world that interacts with mainstream society, even though it is only the politicians who are aware of it. 
 3. The Dark Heroine is not solely a love story. Is there a love story in the book? Yes! Does it thread it's way throughout the duration of the book? Yes! Is it the only thing that is happening in the book? Absolutely not. There is a very large, and very intricate subplot/backstory going on in The Dark Heroine and the love story ties into that beautifully. 
 4. It was written by a 17 year old. Seriously, I can't even remember what I was doing at 17, but I can assure you that it was not writing and publishing amazing stories and or novels. 
 5. You are probably going to want to own your own lake with a giant squid in it. I mean, who wouldn't want one? It's way better than a moat with a drawbridge and so much more of a deterrent to trespassers. 
 In all honesty, after having read The Dark Heroine by Abigail Gibbs, I can't wait to read the next installment The Autumn Rose.
