Unfortunately, the only thing I can say stood out to me about this book was the fact that sex was hardly mentioned. Damen tries once to go all the way, and when she says no, that's it. 
 Ever's two 'friends' I could have done without. I'm not 100% sure why Miles (the token gay friend/student) was given as large of a role (if you would call it that). All he really does gush about his current boyfriend, and get Heaven riled up. I do kinda understand why Heaven was needed-to provide conflict between Ever and Damen-but even that could have been done differently. 
 And finally Damen. Who is not a vampire, but is hundreds of years old, doesn't need to eat, and has to drink a red fluid to survive. It sounds like after creating him, Alyson Noel decided vampires were over done and didn't want him one, and only changed his label. He was a confusing character, and I wish alittle was put into developing his backstory and how, exactly, he got his abilities.
