“Blessed are the cursed, for they are the only ones who can save us.”

 Emellia Catarina Alejandra Ortega, or Emmy to her friends, became upset when one of her best friends, Sarah, warned her that an old student is coming back who could take away the solo that she has worked so hard on. The one that could, hopefully, grab the attention of the recruiter from Berklee College of Music and garner her a scholarship to the college of her dreams. But when Chris, her other beast friend, warns her that Cale is bad news can she manage to stay away from him?

 Cale Cruz has been gone from Clifton Hills and The Canson Academy for the Performing Arts since the death of his sister. But not everything at his old home town is as innocent as it seems. When deaths start occurring he knows it will be a dangerous time for anyone he seems to care about. But he can’t seem to help himself when it comes to Emmy.

 When an old student returns to The Academy as the “new boy” Emmy knows from the gossip that her hard earned solo may be in jeopardy. What she doesn’t expect however is for her whole way of life to be in jeopardy as well. As she is fighting her attraction to the boy she knows her best friend Sarah wants as well, she has no clue as to just what is waiting for her in the shadows of the night.

 Emmy’s Song by Christy Trujillo intrigued me from the get go. As I read it started to remind me of Twilight, but with a slight Spanish flair that, to me, added a little more intrigue. I enjoyed the very differences that distinguished this from Twilight. For me it was less emo, maybe because the main female character seems to have her life planned out. She wants more out of her life than just to be part of a couple, she has actual plans. Her love and pride of her family also make Emmy stand out in my mind. I look forward to seeing more of the Maldito series, and hope to learn more of these interesting factions of Vampire Hunters in the future. Although the main characters are in High School and in their teens because of the sensual images within Emmy’s Song I do suggest this as a more mature young adult reader, 16 and up.
