GAH!! Cliffhangers will be the death of me! Loved the book, hated the ending. I mean, what kind of crap is that?? And we have to wait until 2012 for the next one!? I will never know the conclusion, the world will have ended by then. 
 *rant over* 
 Okay, so anyway. I thought this book was very interesting and unique. I've never read anything like it. I even liked Isobel, which never really happens to me when the main character is a popular cheerleader as what happened when I tried reading the vampire diaries. Varen too was also...well, I'm not really sure what to say about him. Throughout most of the book he was shrouded in an air of mystery which usually I don't mind but at some points I was just like, "Come on, just tell me what the hell is going on!" I actually did like Varen though, because going into the book, I wasn't sure if I would. 
 Overall Creagh did a fantastic job incorporating the works of Edgar Allen Poe into this strange and mysterious novel. I truly had no idea what would happen when I flipped to the next page, and was excited to find out. <3 Kudos Kelley =) (ps if the next book is also a cliffhanger I might have to shoot someone.)
