This was a 4-4.5 star book for me.

Are you feeling a bit of a void now that the Twilight series ended? Are you a little tired of vampires but still want something supernatural? Did you want to read a teen book set in Maine? Have you ever wanted to know the names of lots of phobias?

Need will fulfill all of those for you. Instead of vamps, it has pixies and shapeshifters. The main character, Zara, recites phobia names to herself as a way of calming herself down. There are definitely some similarities to the Twilight series. Zara, to me, is only a little more kickass than Bella. She is torn between two sexy high schoolers: Nick and Ian. And she saves the day in the end.

This felt more like a horror story to me than Twilight did too. With Twilight, I never got up to close the curtains. I didn't worry that someone was staring at me. I got a better sense of that with this book.
