This was a sweet paranormal love story with a brutal side hidden within. A beautiful tale of love lost and reunited many years later, Kendra and Marcus will keep you turning the pages. It's a unique take on vampires, without straying too far from the traditional. I'm excited to see if there will be a sequel, as I'm curious as to what the future holds for the vamps and the band. This novella is a quick read and definitely worth sinking your teeth into...
i trudged through it. i realized i hated every single character, and i hated the more sympathetic ones even more for seeing pieces of myself in them. i threw the book across the room frequently, or started yelling at the characters (which is inappropriate to do in cafes, apparently) and it filled me with the same agita of watching an incredibly awkward scene in a film, where all i want to do is go crawl under a rock and hope the ickiness will go away when i return. but, everyone must read this book, if only for the same reason that if you smell something bad, you encourage the people around you to smell it too. you will even smell it again, to your surprise. you always always smell it twice. i'll read this book again. and then i'll read atlas shrugged. and then i'll read that one again too. i need to, if only masochistically, and only after spending a little time reading her actual philosophy. i am entirely enchanted by its demanding pursuit of happiness, but need to appreciate objectivism itself before getting frustrated with the epic monologues of the bombastic characters. ugh. i'm rather disenchanted right now, seeing Ayn Rand as being an odd combination of dogmatic and naive. it's also my mother's favorite book, which i still can't understand. read the book, if only to think a little more and to spur endless conversations with friends.
