review 1: Charlotte seems to have everything, but she's empty inside. She has lived for nearly a century in the body of a sixteen-year-old girl because she was changed by a vampire during a period of personal tragedy. Having lost her precious twin brother, she allows the darkly compelling William to take her on adventures, but though he gives her the world, he takes her mortality and replaces it with a monstrous existence that prevents her from feeling the way she did when she was human. Traveling the world seeing beautiful things--and disaster--Charlotte longs for the desire to make art and for beautiful human relationships, but when she finds Emily and Jared, her jealousy for their humanity only leads to more loss. This is a story about how Charlotte learns the meaning of life and... more death, and how she reclaims her humanity.
review 2: This took like 45 minutes total ..maybe.. to read. A very short, underdeveloped but pretty little book. The imagery, the traveling through the decades part, and the kind of different almost Anne Rice like take on vampires were nice. But I couldn't find anymore reason to give this anymore then 2 stars. Maybe if it had flowed better and not been so confusing I would have rated it more highly even though it was short, but being short and confusing and lacksidasical just killed it for me. Still FREAKING love the cover though.. although it didn't really fit the actual book. It should have been more elegant. This was very poetic, and I'm not a big poetry person, so maybe if you are and you like vampires and pretty things you would like this more then I did? I didn' hate it, I just didn't love it. less
