Release Date: November 2013Genre: Paranormal Romance
Protagonists: Emily Santos and Brett Carson, teens
The Story: As a fifth generation Chaser, Emily has trained in martial arts in the hopes of some day following the family tradition of tracking and eliminating vampires. Perceived as poorly trained and weak by her family, Emily's determined to prove her strength and worth. She doesn't have anything to prove to Brett Carson, her sparring partner. Brett harbors a health issue he is determined to keep hidden, but when the pair join forces to fend of a vampire attack, both Brett and Emily find they will never be the same again.
Reaction: Slow to get moving, the plot in Rival was much more romance than paranormal. I really liked how Emily was written as a strong female character with a study in martial arts, and I found it refreshing that the boy was more aware of the romance than Emily. The perspective switches from back and forth, which gives deeper insight into each character's thoughts and feelings. This one was a little too romance-heavy for me, but it was an interesting addition to the Unholy Alliance series.
