Summary – From Goodreads

.Dru Anderson might finally be safe. She’s at the largest Schola on the continent, and beginning to learn what it means to be svetocha—half vampire, half human, and all deadly. If she survives her training, she will be able to take her place in the Order, holding back the vampires and protecting the oblivious normal people.

But a web of lies and betrayals is still closing around her, just when she thinks she can relax a little. Her mentor Christophe is missing, her almost-boyfriend is acting weird, and the bodyguards she’s been assigned seem to know much more than they should. And then there’s the vampire attacks, the strange nightly visits, and the looks everyone keeps giving her. As if she should know something.

Or as if she’s in danger.

Someone high up in the Order is a traitor. They want Dru dead—but first, they want to know what she remembers of the night her mother died. Dru doesn’t want to remember, but it looks like she might have to—especially since once Christophe returns, he’ll be on trial for his life, and the only person who can save him is Dru.

The problem is, once she remembers everything, she may not want to... 

My Review

Jealousy is the third book in the Strange Angles series and it was my favorite so far.  It is full of action, suspense, romance and so much more.  It was so good and I really enjoyed it!

Dru, Graves and some of the others are now living at the Schola Prima, the largest school.  Dru wants to think that she is now safe or at least safer than she has been in awhile.  Things start out good and she starts to relax a bit.  Dru just wants a somewhat normal life, wants to attend classes and not have to worry about others wanting to cause her harm or even death.  Dru is also having feelings for Graves but he is giving her mixed signals and she is not sure what to do about it.  He is the only person that she feels safe with and that she she can trust.

It’s not long before she meets formally meets Anna and the rest of the Order.  She knows that Anna hates her and the feeling is mutual.  However there are some members of the Order that will go along with whatever Anna says or does, no matter that cost. 

Things are really turned up in this installment and it just keeps getting better.  I was on the edge of my seat the entire book.  The last part of the book is really suspenseful and leaves us with a major cliffhanger ending.  I am excited to read the next book in this amazing series.
