When I first started this book, I didnt expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Parents move loser teenager to private academy (read huge, hulking, Gothic stone monstrosity), other students are rich, bitchy & predatory, meets good looking moody guy and another even cuter guy who understands her (of course), & then she finds out shes special, very special; sound familiar? Yeah, I thought so too. I mean every other YA paranormal book Ive picked up started about the same way. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. Now dont get me wrong, its not yet on the same playing field as Twilight or Vampire Academy but it was a very compelling read. I started it Sunday afternoon at the pool and read till there was no light left outside. Needless to say I stayed up till I finished it that night.
When Bianca talks about Lucass smell, spicy and woodsy, I think Im right, yeap, vamps and werewolves. Well, since I dont want to ruin it, suffice it to say, this book has many secrets which are only partially reveled (it is a series after all) like the layers of an onion. While I dont think the average adults are going to rave over this book, I do think that YAs are going to love it. This book again makes me realize why I like to read YA paranormals, the story grabs you quickly and does not waste a lot of time on backstory, it gets right to the meat of it. While I read this book more as a challenge as the previous owner was less than impressed by it, I still stand by my remark that one mans cow dung is another mans fertilizer as I expect this series to grow and produce amazing results. I definitely intend to read at least another book or two in this series to see if we get more answers to some questions and to see if I can convince the naysayer to give it another try.
