It was interesting that the generic human-vampire story had a post-apocalyptic twist. I'd be interested to learn more about the war, and to see how her relationship continues now. ( ) VERY enjoyable read! A really nice twist on the whole Vampire lore. Am already onto the next one in the trilogy and can't wait to find out why they keep hinting she's "different".. no spoiler there, cause they start hinting in the prologue... ;] Great characters, Dawn and Victor and the tightrope she's forced to walk between human/vampire relations.. fun! I won a signed copy of book through a massive internet giveaway and the following is my honest opinion for the book. With the apparent glut of vampire stories currently out there and more seemingly appearing each day something has to give. One unique thing about this book is that it had been written by two individuals, and while this might not sound so it is when you consider it had been written by a mother and her son. While the mother, Rachel Hawthorne, has written several YA novels; her son, Alex London, is a recent History major college graduate enjoys creating new worlds based on Historical Fiction. The melding of these two individual seems to work well, however I believe a problem exists in elements of the storyline. One of the elements is parts of the storyline seem to be overly contrived, such as high school still existing with the conflict which exists in the vampire dystopia the story takes place in. With the need to have a delegate to act as the go between humans and vampires, why would they select a mere teenager instead of a more mature adult? Since the authors didn’t waste time staying on one particular scene in the storyline, the action is fast-spaced. Readers are continuously made to guess what will happen next with the tension being created as the readers make their way through the books pages. The addition of a love triangle seems to function, in my opinion, as a lure for the YA [Young Adult] audience. Lastly, I found, the title, which should have caught a person’s eye and piqued their curiosity about the book to be flat. I wanted to give this book 3.5 STARS, but the rounding convention raises it to 4 STARS. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
