Diabolical by Cynthia Leitich Smith
Candlewick Press, 2012. ISBN 9781921977626.
'Slipped' angel Zachary and his werewolf friend, Kieren enrol in a
New England boarding school, a school full of hand-picked students
with their own secrets. Zachary feels he has to protect the soul of
Lucy, a friend of Miranda's and a student at the school. Zachary and
Kieren plan to talk Lucy into leaving the school but soon realise
that it's easier said than done. The school's ten students need to
work together to survive the school's challenges. Worse, is this all
a setup to trick Zachary to become a fallen angel?
Everyone is back for the final installment of Tantalize. I loved the
idea of Miranda being redeemed. Diabolical is told from three
perspectives; Kieren (the werewolf), Zachary ('slipped'angel) and
Miranda (vampire). It was a little confusing reading form three
perspectives but it kept the book interesting. A really good end to
the Tantalise series.
