A powerful story about the ways in which grief and hope each work their dual destructive and restorative powers- also, vampires. ( ) Can seeking immortality really help you past your grief? Victoria believes if she find a vampire and convince him/her to turn her, she will be able to save her dying father. What she discovers is that immortality isn't what she truly needs. She needs to learn to live. With the help of Henry, her true soulmate, and Nicholas, a boy she believes to be a vamp, she learns that it's ok to let go and to live again. I was excited to receive this book, especially because it had vampires in in, but it turned into a book about dealing with grief and death, more so than vampires. Definitely one for higher level readers in HS. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Public fear soon drove the vampires back into hiding, yet Victoria and her father still dream about finding a vampire together.
