Review: Unholy Alliance

Unholy Alliance by Haley Yager
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Synopsis:

How do you choose between destiny and love? 
Forever seventeen, vampire Maggie Wells has spent her life in the shadows. A master at blending in, she lives among the troubled teens she's made it her mission to protect, along with her best friend and witch, Hannah Morgan. 
Eighteen-year-old Shane Campton knows his destiny: he was born to kill vampires. When he crosses paths with Maggie, the only thing that keeps her alive are the witnesses present. 
When Shane's younger sister, a mysterious supernatural, needs Maggie help, Shane is torn between his duty to kill and his sister's safety. He starts to get to know Maggie, and finds there is much more to her than he thought. But Maggie has a secret past that could destroy them all. 

My Thoughts:

This book had lots of potential to be great. I enjoyed it but it was way too short. It really needed to be longer and the characters fleshed out a bit more. I didn't care much for Rachel. She was too happy to kill for a teenager. I think if I had gotten to know the characters a bit more, they would be more likable. More world-building would have been nice also. Obviously, the chasers knew vampires existed but there wasn't much background given. Do the normal humans know they exist? Overall, it is an ok book that could have been so much better with more added to the story.
