Well, add this series onto the list of guilty pleasure young adult fantasy/dystopia/vampire series that I secretly have to read. Even though, to be honest, it was not the best written YA vampire story I've ever read, some of the elements are new and interesting. And who doesn't love a good high school drama mixed in there? It's set up well for more to follow and has the necessary love interests in bad/broody guys. So, a great light, summer, teen read. And I plan to read the next ones.
