4 wonderful stars!! 
 Honestly, the only reason this is 4 stars was because of that "To Be Continued" at the end which really ruined it for me.. 
 But not so much ;) 
 What a journey! Missed those intense, awesome Vampire books! 
 This was definitely a page-turner and kept me wanting to read more up until the very end! 
 Off to read the next one (i.e. to read the foregone conclusion).
