Hayden is somewhat of a bad boy and gets all of the girls in high school. When the vice principal asks him to act as a body guard for another student, of course his answer is a resounding no. Once he meets the girl he's to protect, however, it's not all that difficult to change his mind. With problems at home and a future to figure out, he may not have much of a choice anyway.


Tessa is blindsided when the principal and an FBI agent call her into their office and explain her family is in trouble. She doesn't want Hayden as a bodyguard, but she can't risk anything happening to her little sister either.

Who are the bad guys and who are the good? You have to read to find out. This is a teen magic story, a la Harry Potter, but with a much different feel. The characters are pretty yet gritty. There are real teen issues to deal with. Instead of being whisked off to a magical world, we find that magic exists in our own world.

I really couldn't put this down. It ended far too quickly for me. There was some great plot twists tossed in that surprised me. It took me awhile to figure out who I was supposed to be rooting for. Just remember, sometimes the bad guys are good and vice versa.

If you're looking for an entertaining, engrossing tale, Blade is the one to pick up. From teen to adult, I can't imagine anyone not absolutely adoring this book.
