Blessed by Cynthia Leitich Smith

I chose this book Blessed by Cynthia Leitich Smith because it is a mystery book.
Also because it was a New York times bestseller and a publishers weekly bestseller.
Blessed is the third book part of the Tantalize series.

There are three main characters in Blessed: Quincie P. Morris, who is a teen restauranteur and a neophyte vampire. She is a strong young woman surrounded by danger at every turn. Quincie has a lot on her shoulder, she had never felt more alone.
She was given her dead parents restaurant to take care of it and keep it up and running, on top of this she is also in school. This is also when the second main character comes in
Bradley Sanguini who is the vampire who had “Blessed” Quincie, and was the one who told her to keep her dead parents restaurant up and running. He is also the chef of
Quincie’s parent’s restaurant. He with the rise of a hundred different vampires started assuming the powers of Dracula prime; their superior and couldn't wait any longer and started to hit the road and save themselves. He went through a lot of bloodshed to save the people who were threatened by the “bad” vampires such as Quincie who was in danger. Leading to the third main character, Kieren who is Quincie’s best friend and true love. Kieren is a hybrid-werewolf who was accused with murder charges and
Quincie as his best friend tries to help and get rid of the murder charges of the chef,by
Kieren.
