Eleventh Grade Burns by Heather BrewerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oh the wonders of the Vlad Tod world...absolute perfection, every last one, and this fourth book takes things up to new heights. While Tenth Grade Bleeds upped the emotional game considerably, Eleventh Grade Burns delivers a masterful blend of teen dramedy and suspenseful paranormal thrills, particularly in the interactions between Vlad and Joss (nice to see him back in action in this one!) And also Dorian, that enigmatic creature of the night who makes his most prominent appearance of all in this book, and really justifies my friend August's fan love for him.
As the penultimate entry in the Chronicles of Vladimir Tod, expect this book to serve up a lot of twists and turns and cliffhangers setting the stage for its high-promise grand finale in Twelfth Grade Kills, the culmination of the Vlad Tod 'verse to date, though I still hope Z's got more stories up his sleeve for this one. But this book and its many, many cliffhangers, they come pretty much one after the other and get nastier and more diabolical each time - until the very last word.
Z Brewer at his finest, that's this series for you. Sincerely.
