It's true, there are definitely similarities between this book and the Vampire Academy series.. 
 BUT... 
 Nevertheless, this was great- a very enjoyable book! It was addictive enough to make me read it all in one sitting as well :) 
 I loved Alex - she was funny, outgoing and outspoken (even though at times, I thought, she came across a little childish) Aiden & Cayden were pretty awesome too, as well as the romance... 
 Im still kinda indecisive about how I feel about Seth though, but hey, that's what sequels are for :) ---> Definitely looking forward to it! 
 I'd definitely pick this book up and give it a go (if I were you) :D
