review 1: Amazing. Wow. I'm not a young adult, but this book certainly appeals to all ages. Very well paced. I couldn't put it down...literally! The end was so gut wrenching! It left me gasping and crying out "No! That's it? I need MORE!" Thankfully, there is more! Her second book in the series. I'm reading that now, and again, can't put it down! She is an author that I have to say is extremely adept at painting a true fantasy, without being "hokey." I can easily see myself in the middle of the action! I just caught wind that she'll be writing a 3rd and final book to this series, and I can't wait!! I'm tempted to slow down with reading the 2nd book so I won't have too long to wait to read the 3rd! A definite must read for all reading enthusiasts.
review 2: First-reads - ... moreGiveaway Well, first off I never know how to rate these books. In the post-Twilight world where the shelves are groaning with young adult soppy vampire pap I was admittedly cynical that this was going to be another poorly-written story. My problem is that although they are terrible, I tend to secretly quite like reading them as a quick-read. Starting off with this book, yes, I cringed somewhat at the modern-day high-school girl character (I tend to read sci-fi and fantasy which stays firmly away from the modern day), the necessity for every vampire book to have a snazzy car (Lamborghini), and being English myself, the rather 'quaint' portrayal of some of England's inhabitants from an American's point of view, hmm. But having said that, it is a romance, and there was that. But what made me enjoy this book more was a presence of time-travel, and the adventure that happens regarding it, and for me that made it more exciting than the run-of-the-mill vampire tale. The ending I found a little abrupt, however with reflection it was good, better even than what might be expected from a book of this genre. less
