• Solid, but a let-down
  I won't get into the plot of the book since that is well covered elsewhere. I'll just detail my reaction. For starters, as a warning, this book was VERY clearly written for teenage girls, so if you aren't one, then proceed with caution.

  5. This book is not for vampire fans, but for little girls and neo-goth punks who like to cut themselves to take away the pain.
