Did you like it? I did very much actually. Before I started reading it, my mindset was kind of like "Oh great, another vampire book." But I gave it a shot because of all the awesome reviews I'd read/heard for it. Gray did an amazing job with the story line, though a few parts of the book I found my head filling with questions that never quite got answered, and the whole love at first sight thing (though, I feel she did it extremely well). When Lucas "shunned" Bianca, I could feel it, I could feel her distress and her worry. The characters were all very believable, and fleshed out. Even fun to read. Bianca's parents happened to be my favorite. The twist shocked me, and I sat there like "whaaaa?" for a while, but I also feel that it wasn't a smooth enough transition, I was probably 3/4ths of the way through the book before the twist really felt REAL. I would give this book a 5/6.
What's it about? It's about a girl, named Bianca and a boy named Lucas, and a school called Evernight. This is actually a book I don't want to give away because the twist was that shocking, even if everyone else has already read this book. If you haven't and you're reading this, go...go read this book. Vampires are central to the theme, but in a different manner than a lot of novels on the scene now. Plus the whole turning a human to a vampire is completely different, which was refreshing and I really enjoyed the outlook on it. Bianca and Lucas fall in love. Bianca is one thing, Lucas is another. There is a lot of lieing and half-truths to keep the other safe. Then there's the third man Balthazar, who totally has the hots for Bianca as well. And her parents are all kinds of quirky and awesome. I can't wait to get my hands on the next book, seriously, I'm dying to know what happens next.
