This was a fairly solid YA vamp novel that's been on my Nook for years. I think I would have loved it had I read it 10 years ago.
There's an interesting vampire myth deviation, and the characters were fairly entertaining. I thought Rose was a little... well, a typical HS girl you'd find behind the bleachers, but, it seemed after a while, she just used it as a facade.
There were fairly typical HS situations, then within the last 50 pages, the story picked up with the action.
While I thought this book was fairly entertaining, I don't feel a hankering to pick up the next book in the series.
I feel like nowadays, this sort of YA is most likely obsolete to the audience, like Vampire Diaries.

I actually read the synopses of the other books/series, and I just can't deal with YA love situations anymore, and they distract me from the story. I may try to get a library copies of the next ones.

I agree, I read this series about 10 years ago and LOVED it, it was in the hype of vampires time. The fourth [i think] book was just an emotional heartbreak. But I definitely enjoyed the spin off series, Bloodlines, with Adrian and Sydney it was amazing, possibly because Adrian is my absolute favourite (: well I am now going to re read the Bloodlines series so thanks (:
