I don't know how C.C. does it, but she did it again! Just when I don't think her books can get any better they do! I love this little world and characters she has created is pretty much amazing! Ever since the first book I cannot stop thinking about these characters, even long after I'm done reading each of the books. To me that's a sign of a really GREAT author! I wish I had her skills. She takes on quite the roller coaster ride in this book. With the ghost that is warning Kylie that one lives and one dies, to the FRU's 'tests', to the mystery behind who keeps saving her, leaves you with a very exciting read!
It was so nice to finally get some answers. Not as much as I would have liked, but hey answers are answers. I'll take any at this point, whether their jaw dropping or not.
You see a lot more in the relationship department in this book then you do in the firs two. It was AWESOME! I'm so glad that Perry and Miranda are finally starting to pull it together. It's about time that's all I've gotta say, they were driving me crazy! Kylie's still got her huge dilemma trying to choose between Derek and Lucas. Even though it seems that she's chosen Lucas, Derek's little confession at the end makes me think things are going to be quite interesting in the next book. Personally I'm rooting for Derek. He such an amazing guy. I think Kylie would be lucky to have him. Lucas is good too, but he's just a little too controlling for my taste.
And, of course, how could I forget Burnett and Holiday! SQEEEEAAALLL, I love those two! I wish we could have had a little more interaction with them like you do in the second book, but...C.C. Really makes up for it at the end!
And what is with the ending?! What does it mean!!!! I need to know now!!!!
I CAN'T wait for the next book! And it's still in the writing process! How am I going to get through this wait?! I guess I'm just going to have to read all the books over and over again just to get me through it.

“Wow," Miranda said, "You'd better be careful Della. In the last few days, I think you've used up your vampire quota of apologies for the next ten years."
"Kiss my apologetic ass!" Della snapped.”

“Go out with me tomorow night," Perry went on. "Let me prove to you that I'm the guy you want."
"I...I guess I coul go out tomorrow night," Miranda sounded shocked and a little swept off her feet.
Then, from the corner of her eyes. Kylie saw something move at the office window. When she looked back, she spotted Burnett and Holiday standing there high-fiving each other. No doubt Burnett was listening to the coversation and sharing the details with Holiday.
Perry nodded, stepped closer, and then pressed a quick kiss on Miranda's cheek. It had to be the most romantic thing Kylie had ever seen.
..."What?" Miranda asked. "You're happy my date [with Todd] wasn't exciting?"
"No," Kylie said. "Let's just say we're more excited about tomorrow night's date."
A bright smile lit up Miranda's face. "Me too. Can you believ Perry did that? I mean, he was so..."
"Romantic," Kylie said.
"Hot," Della added.
"Sweet," Miranda whispered. "I couldn't stop thinkibng about him all night."
And that was the best news Kylie had gotten all day.”

“She couldn’t help wondering if that was how one made the decision to forgive or not. If letting go hurt more than accepting someone’s mistakes.”

“You will be what you are, and whatever it is, you will be fine. Everyone has to accept that and love you for who you are; it doesn’t really matter where your heritage comes from”

“I'm in love with you, Kylie." He looked almost embarrassed by the admission. He jumped up, took one step away, then swung around and faced her again. "I don't expect you to say it back and I don't think this will change your mind about anything. But you deserved to know. And I needed to tell you because.....I've never felt this way before-for anyone.”
