How can I write this review without spoilers... hmmm Doubt I can! So beware!

What I liked the most about this book was that the world and characters Melanie Nowak created were very believable. Some of the things in this book happens in real life on daily basis, of course not the whole vampire stuff haha, but school, work, life in general. So it was very easy to relate to her characters and be pulled into the town like if you were living there as well. It was not hard at all to feel like you were there at every scene just watching it all play out.

*****SPOILERS***** NOT MUCH!

Ben, Felicity and Alyson become really close friends and are very much aware what lurks around their town. Ben hates vamps with all his heart, Alyson could careless and Felicity is just still getting used to it in book one. I think it was so cute how Felicity and Cain started out. Cain is shocked that Felicity even spoke to him the first time and then offers to hang out with him. He slowly begins to feel this pull to Felicity only to find out that the whole time Felicity had no idea what he truly was. Once she does though it pops open a jar of emotions and confusion. She does not know if she should pull away from Cain or continue to speak to him. Of course it does not help with Ben hating vamps so much and putting things in her head.

Cain and Felicity slowly begin to trust each other and man the can of worms that opened up. I really liked them together and let me tell you, the scene Melanie Nowak wrote between Cain and Felicity on their "First time" gave me goosebumps and turned my cheeks red. I never had a book make my whole body tingle from just reading a love scene. The scene was written so well that I felt every single emotion they were feeling towards each other. While I was reading I had to keep putting the book down because I just couldn't believe how real it felt. It was just perfect in every way!

Sindy, who pretty much thinks she is such a bad ass and creates her own little gang of vamps to follow her. At first I hated Sindy's character, but somewhere down the line you learn the truth behind Sindy and sorta feel sorry for her. She lived a rough life before being turned and never really had anyone to love her.

I feel like I am giving way to much away! lol

Everything in this book just went together perfectly. From the first page until the very last. Honestly, there were so many things I thought I knew was going to happen and was shocked when it went in a whole different direction. This book was well written and has a little bit of everything. You'll cry a little, laugh a little, scream a little and be in shock from time to time. Don't let me get started on the ending of this book!! I am so torn right now because of the way this book ended. I no longer know what I want for Felicity.

I just love this book and can not wait until the second part (which will be another trilogy) released on May 31, 2010. Hopefully! I definitely recommend this book. ...more

Well, what to say...

I enjoyed it mostly - I liked the main character, I also really liked Cain, but gosh things got convoluted and totally weighed down, then the ending...UGH, really does anyone learn?

I really did mostly enjoy it, it seemed a bit long, with lots of things being said 2 or 3 times over again, which drove me a bit nuts.

But wow, to get over the ending, to even write this...

Solid start, with an ending I did not like and threw me 100% for a loop! :(
