Did you like it? Okay, I'm going to try to put my feelings out there as unbiasedly as possible. I have a lot of issues with Bianca as a character and I feel they overshadow a lot of good parts in the book for me. She's a vampire, yes I get that, but she's also like mostly human or something. She's confused but she's sure. She's weak but she's strong. I don't know. I felt like almost every decision she made, she made with her heart and not with her head. She was all about what felt right and not what might have actually been the correct decision. Even at the end of the book...I was just frustrated with her the whole way through. I would give this book a 3.5 out of 6, the writing was good, the choice the characters made could have been much better...and I felt there was a disconnect between Bianca's brain and every single decision she made.

What's it about? 

Evernight Academy: an exclusive boarding school for the most beautiful, dangerous students of all—vampires. Bianca, born to two vampires, has always been told her destiny is to become one of them.

But Bianca fell in love with Lucas—a vampire hunter sworn to destroy her kind. They were torn apart when his true identity was revealed, forcing him to flee the school.

Although they may be separated, Bianca and Lucas will not give each other up. She will risk anything for the chance to see him again, even if it means coming face-to-face with the vampire hunters of Black Cross—or deceiving the powerful vampires of Evernight. Bianca's secrets will force her to live a life of lies.

Yet Bianca isn't the only one keeping secrets. When Evernight is attacked by an evil force that seems to target her, she discovers the truth she thought she knew is only the beginning....

So basically, Bianca is still at Evernight. And most of the book is spent pining after Lucas, which let me just state now, Alicia does not like Lucas. I feel he is selfish and if we learned anything from Twilight, it's that humans and vampires can't be together, lest the human almost dies whilst giving birth and then has to changed into a vampire and be bestowed with some shitty power. Okay, maybe that was a little harsh. Basically the book is all about when can Bianca and Lucas meet again? Oh and there's Balthazar's sister who makes a totally badass/crazy appearance. And there's Vic who is by far my favorite character because who doesn't love a totally laid back, brainy, surfer dude? Bianca also has to deal with ghosts in the book, and you find out that her parents had to make a dirty deal in order to be able to have a child...and that they want payment for their help. So I'll just have to see where this goes next.
