The Gilded Ones


 This book is similar to Witches Steeped in Gold. Deka is a teenage girl awaiting her blood rite. This will determine if her blood runs red and she can become a part of her village or if her blood runs gold, in which case she will be killed instantly. Unfortunately for Deka, her blood runs gold and the village tries to kill her. But with her gold blood comes powers, and one of those powers is that she can't be killed. But boy do they try. When a strange woman comes to their village and offers her. way out, she jumps on the chance to leave everything she knows to join an army of gold blooded woman. They are set to defend the land from monsters who roam into villages and kill everyone. Deka discovers that she has powers over these monsters who seem to obey her orders. How is she doing it? Does it mean she is a monster? What if someone finds out what she can do? Deka builds a group of friends who will stand at her back and by her side into whatever trouble they find. Deka must unravel the mystery of these monsters to unveil the real killers. But will she have the strength to do what she must? I liked this book much better than the other one. Deka is likable, strong and determined. Her friends are equally interesting as is the twist regarding the monsters. I will continue with this series and look forward to see what Deka is doing next. Happy reading my friends!
