I really enjoyed this book. I found most refreshing that the Main Character Alice was not instantly in love the the Main male character. A lot of YA books start off in the first chapter with the characters instantly in true love. I like the friendship shared between the 2 of them. This was not the best book ever written, but I read it from start to finish in one sitting. An engrossing storyline with a strong sense of family. I also downloaded it for 99 cents! Well worth the investment. Already downloaded the next installment. If u like YA vampire books then this is sure to hold your attention.
