I was a little wary at first this was going to be too 'teen' for me. Once a chapter in I was hooked and could not put it down (read within a day) This plot was very interesting, easily flowed. The characters were well rounded and likeable. Especially the character Nate.
As a big fan of 80s movies, This did pretty much read as a modern, darker version of The breakfast Club. If that was the intent it was done well. By the end of the book I didn't want it to end. It is highly adaptable for a tv series or movie and I would love to see one.

A NA book that takes gorey details and makes sure you can picture it in your mind. This was not at all what I was expecting when I first saw the cover and began the book. Right away you are thrown into vivid details about murder and blood. It continues through the whole book.
The story is well thought out and has many dimensions that continue to influence it. While I do not understand how this could be considered a YA.
I think those who enjoy more gore, detail, and a story that is focused on darker aspects of vampirism will enjoy this story.
