Mortal Sentry is the second installment of The Raina Kirkland series by Diana J. Graves. Raina Kirkland, a part-elf, part-witch, and part-vampire, is put on a deadline by the demon Raphael to raise a boy named Thomas in exchange for her life, leading her to hide from him at her Aunt Fauna's house. However, upon a rare trip to the Bastion Fatal, Tacoma's strongest vampire collective, Master Alistair asks her to join his legion. After refusing his request, Raina barely escapes with her life. Meanwhile, she finds herself unwittingly involved in her half-sister's traumatic life while her brother is on his way to becoming a marked vampire. To add to her growing woes, a woman named Nanuet seeks her help in finding her daughter, Nenet, which brings disastrous consequences for everyone involved.

Fans of supernatural shows like The Vampire Diaries or books such as Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire will absolutely adore Mortal Sentry. Diana J. Graves' second installment of The Raina Kirkland series is a fast-paced and action-packed tale of a young hybrid vampire coming to terms with her powers and her place in a world full of supernatural monsters. Accompanied by engaging characters and an intricate plot filled with numerous twists and turns, the narrative hooks you in from the first page and refuses to let go until the end. Graves never shies away from vivid descriptions, with visceral action sequences that add plenty of thrills to make you feel the stakes. I had a blast reading Mortal Sentry. Recommended to lovers of supernatural thrillers.
