Revenge is a dish best served cold.In Ann Aguirre's Mortal Danger, Edie Kramer has a score to settle with the beautiful people at Blackbriar Academy. Their cruelty drove her to the brink of despair, and four months ago, she couldn't imagine being strong enough to face her senior year. But thanks to a Faustian compact with the enigmatic Kian, she has the power to make the bullies pay. She's not supposed to think about Kian once the deal is done, but devastating pain burns behind his unearthly beauty, and he's impossible to forget.
In one short summer, her entire life changes and she sweeps through Blackbriar, prepped to take the beautiful people down from the inside. A whisper here, a look there, and suddenly . . . bad things are happening. It's a head rush, seeing her tormentors get what they deserve, but things that seem too good to be true usually are, and soon, the pranks and payback turns from delicious to deadly. Edie is alone in a world teeming with secrets and fiends lurking in the shadows. In this murky morass of devil's bargains, she isn't sure who--or what--she can trust. Not even her own mind.
Review
Moral Danger drew me in from the very beginning. How wouldn't you when that's the first line? Its a great new original story that Ann Aguirre can call her own. Edie, the main character, goes from a sad depressed genius to a determined girl with to much loss on her side, but she's able to fight for her new friends against the evil that she unknowingly signed up for.
With this description it sounds sappy, but Ann Aguirre throws in a mix of danger and mythology. It creates a mix of excitement and dread that doesn't allow you to put the book down. I give this book five stars and recommend every one to read it. And if your hesitant because you think its about some depressed girl that wants to die, its not. Edie quickly learns that things can always get worse and that there are people that like her so don't worry about that.
