This book was not what I was expecting. The author introduces a new take on vampires and supernatural creatures which I found interesting and refreshing. The writing is lively and fun, and there is nothing inappropriate for tweens. I hope another book is in the works because this one left me wanting more!
I enjoyed reading this book 2 years back when I was 10. Slight gore, but not something the weak hearted couldn't handle. I like it because it doesn't give itself away too easily, like most books. Until near the end, you don't know what's going to happen next, so you just can't stop reading. Then when it reveals itself, you keep reading to make sure you thought correctly about the ending! I love it!
I have an 11 yr old niece, and we started our own little book club. This book was perfect for us! She's always trying to read books that are just a little too old for her (Twilight Saga). This book not only has appropriate subject manner for her age, but also vocabulary. There were a few times where the author made a point of giving a simple definitions of some words I knew she wouldn't know.
