Girlfriend, ex-boyfriend, and boyfriend finally come together to clean up disaster at Cotillion. Wow! What a headline.
Harper Grace Price is “THE” girl to go to at Grove Academy in Alabama. She is head cheerleader, President of SGA, Homecoming Queen, and head of numerous other committees. She is building up her resume for college her junior year at this private school. Just minutes before she is to be crowned homecoming queen she witnesses a murder and is attacked by one of her professors, whom she kills with her 4 inch spike heels. It is not until later that she finds out she is now a paladin. She is to help take care of the Oracle. At first she did not even know who the Oracle is. When she does find out she resigns from the job . . . only you can’t resign from protecting an Oracle.
This is a page turning book; full of surprises, and twists. Warning….I did not care for the swearing. If you are sensitive to 4 letter words this is not the book for you. I just read past the words and continued on with the story.
Sure hope the author follows with a sequel. Harper’s best friend was kidnapped by a Mage and disappeared — Poof!
