Jane Williams is excited – she’s worked long and hard and managed to win a scholarship to the prestigious Birch Grove Academy, on a beautiful campus far away from the foster homes she grew up in. The headmistress is nice and welcoming. She gets her very own cottage, and makes friends. And there are boys – cute boys – around.Then Jane notices a few things that don’t seem quite right. And finds a few topics nobody wants to talk about. And develops a crush on the headmistress’ gorgeous son Lucian, which takes her attention off the things that don’t seem quite right… Too bad Lucian’s brother Jack isn’t quite as nice to her – she might like him just a bit more if he were.When Jane finds a group of people chanting in a ceremony in the middle of the grove, she doesn’t know what to think. So she runs. And finds that sometimes what you used to know isn’t better than what you don’t know now.Dark Companion is a different take on vampires, though not so different as to be completely unique or groundbreaking. But I liked the setting, I liked Jane, and I want to know what’s in store for her next. Because there has to be a sequel to this, right?drey’s rating: Pick it up!
