Review: I loved this book, and my review is absolutely positive. I liked the fresh twist that portrayed Vampires as more dangerous and intense, and not sparkly and overbearing. Twilight was the first supernatural book I read, but it was completely overshadowed when I was introduced to both The Vampire Diaries books, and the show. I give this book an 11 out of 10!!!
