Melanie (Minx) Rodriguez is a vampire
hunter. She has also been a vampire victim and prefers
being the hunter. Right now as she heads to her family home
in Mexico for El Dia de los Muertos, Minx is hoping to come
up against an Oathbreaker (a bad vampire).
Everyone believes that vampires are not
afraid of anything, but Connor Bell, an Oathkeeper (a good
vampire), knows that is wrong. Conner found out that love
can and did scare him into running. He is coming back now
and hoping to make Minx listen to why he ran and to give
them another chance. Conner finds yet another reason to be
scared when he learns that Minx is gone and left alone.
Minx barely gets to her destination and
Conner shows up with other hunters. Not sure how she feels
about this, Minx finally agrees to give Conner and their
love another chance. While planning her celebration for the
dead, Minx and Conner learn of the Oathbreaker nest in
Mexico. Knowing it is their job to take care of, plans are
made, but will Conner and Minx be strong enough to make it
out alive?
Celebration of the Dead brings in the
wonderful celebration Mexico has for the dead and combines
it with vampire hunters, Oathkeepers and Oathbreakers.
Minx has worked hard to trust the Oathkeepers and while she
isn’t going to let Conner spoil that for her, she was hurt
when he ran. Conner left, only to discover he needs Minx if
he wants to be happy again. I thoroughly enjoyed watching
Conner learn about Minx and her family history. Then I got
see both of them work through not only their
misunderstanding, but to work toward getting rid of a major
enemy. I don’t want to give away anything, but I have to
say that Conner deserves the title of “hero” from his
actions. Celebration of the Dead is a great
continuation of the Witches Knot series and a must-read for
anyone following it. If you just love vampires, then
Celebration of the Dead is also for you, but don’t
be surprised if you go back to grab the first four books. |
