I really liked this book. I thought it was great up to the very end when it was ruined w/ a sequal. Trust me folk- dont bothreading it- (the sequal that is)

The best book ever

Ethan kinda reminded me of Bella Swan, but he's smarter & tougher then the girl. It felt like he's a female character seeing how he described his love story. I can't believe this guy's point of view is written by two female authors. This is new to me & I love it. Lena annoys me a bit by repeating about being a Dark Caster, but she did protected Ethan from Ridley's spell & her evil mother, Sarafine. Macon Ravenwood is a mysterious man, can't believe he died in this book. I was hoping to see more of him in the next sequels. But thank goodness Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl are bringing him "back to life" in the next sequel, Beautiful Darkness.Link is very loyal to Ethan though once he didn't as he was under Ridley's spell. I adore this book as a forbidden love story, not believing in the supernatural. Still, I hope the movie version of this book would be ready ASAP. I'll be watching. Can't wait.

i honestly believe this is a book for 15& up, its not for younger teens, it has "bad" parts that kids do not need to learn about just yet, thats qhat the parents are for, they need to teach you that, not a book.

I lovedlovedloved this book! I've read it three times it was so good. I liked seeing a different point of view, because the book was in the perspective of a boy, even though I don't think boys would enjoy all the romance in the book... It really was amazing! I can really find nothing wrong with it, and I hope that there's a sequel!

Its so cool when u read it it feels like ur there!

I just thought it was a really well written book. If you are looking for a well written novel for young readers this is the book to turn to.

When I first picked up this book at the library, I was a huge skeptic. I'm not really into Gothic literature... or Gothic anything for that matter. I didn't know what to expect... but I expected witches, dark spells, vampires, werewolves, gory supernatural battles, tons of sex scenes, anti-Christs, superstitious old women... the whole nine yards. The only reason I read this book was because I wanted to try something new. And boy, was I surprised. There wasn't a single page in this book that I didn't love. It wasn't at all the Gothic, anti-Christ, witch book that I imagined. It was fantastic. I was glued to the stupid thing after the first three pages, and I loved every minute of it. I found myself saying, 'No, Ethan, don't do it!' or 'Show 'em, Lena!' and cheering on my favorite two characters. I loved the romance aspect. I loved the small town, Gatlin, and I loved how everything changed because of this one girl, Lena. I loved how much I hated the stupid Jackson Angels (stupid, stuck up, lying teenagers who hate Lena), I loved how much I loved Ethan and Lena together. It was a fantastic book, with a tragic, heart-stopping, and frankly, confusing-as-hell ending. I loved it. I'd recommend it to anyone whose mature enough to handle it. Hurry up with that sequel, Kami and Margaret!

well i think it's nice for us teens but not for kids who are under 1o or 8 years old this book is not for kids thank u
