Vampire Knight

Vampire Knight

By Matsuri Hino

Fabulous manga series – a gothic romance full of danger and suspense – with beautiful artwork and lots of angst!

Yuki attends the Cross Academy, where the humans of the Day Class are protected from the Vampires of the Night Class. It is one of Yuki’s tasks to foster understanding and tolerance between the two Classes. Complicating matters is her attraction to two of the gorgeous boys attending the Academy – Kaname, a pure blood Vampire; and Zero, her partner who hates Vampires. Zero’s story is also very complicated, and adds much emotion and tension to the story.

The artwork is lovely – and the story is full of angsty plot, great humour and blood-sucking attacks!

Wicked Lovely

Wicked Lovely

By Melissa Marr

‘Never speak to invisible faeries’ – just one of the rules that Aislinn has grown up with, ensuring that she does nothing to give away the fact that she can See the faerie world. But suddenly the rules don’t seem to be working anymore, and the barrier between the worlds is breeched. Keenan, the king of the faeries, has chosen Aislinn to be his queen.

A lively plot explores themes of choices made and those passed by, and of the role of fate in matters of love. A strong urban gothic setting works nicely to ground this fantasy novel.
