review 1: Now you must understand why i gave this book two stars, you see the first two books were great and all but this one not so much. It seemed like the author wanted the book to end, so to do that she quickly wrote the book, sure it had some romance and all (and i'm a sucker for a cute YA romance) but it all seemed so rushed. The first two books had great details written in them but this one everything was like 'so this happened, and yup thats about it' and it made it confusing. Now I did read the entire book, and the ending? Not very good. Sure the epilouge wasn't so bad but the last five or six chapters, yawn. So to conclude this review, the book is sloppily written and was by-far the worst one in the series.
review 2: Finally, the finale of a wonderful series! ... moreJulia has a destiny to fulfill and several secrets to uncover. Julia's friends and family may not be quite what they seem and she will need to track down the person she suspects is harming vampires. The reader will be treated to the appearance of more and more vampires as the ending draws near. With the arrival of these vampires, a lot of trouble begins stirring in their small town. Julia will have several difficult decisions to make.Julia's character is unusual. She is both easy to connect to, but hard to "read." She will certainly manage to surprise the reader. Typically, Julia displays integrity, bravery, and intelligence; however, there will be some portions in the novel where the reader will want to shake her. Of course, this is the mark of a good author; when the reader cares that much about a character's actions, the author has succeeded. The other characters will rub the reader in different ways. Most of the time, the reader will be rooting for Julia and Nicholas. Sometimes, it may be hard to keep the relationships separate, but the author does a good job of eliminating confusion between the couples. The ending was definitely cute and many readers won't want it any other way though it was a little on the cheesy side. However, Brenda Pandos wraps up the ending nicely and doesn't leave any loose ends for the reader to worry about. This book is highly recommended to young adult/adult readers. less
