While this book isn't a complete departure from the formula of Twilight, it does everything right that it needs to do to set itself apart, while delivering to the reader a fun and suspenseful story in an amazing genre.

Good Points

As the first book of its series, Bellocaro is a thoroughly developed, young adult vampire novel with well crafted social dynamics built on top of a world of supernatural, vampiric lore. What some might call a spiritual successor to Twilight, the author successfully employs the elements of mystique and induction that readers of the genre may have first encountered in Twilight. Told from the perspective a very aware female protagonist, Skye Moon, knows that supernatural creatures exist on the island. The reader is led down a rabbit hold of supernatural intrigue that keeps the pages turning.

I can't wait to read book two and see where Skye finds herself in the world of inescapable magnetism she has discovered. While this book isn't a complete departure from the formula of Twilight, it does everything right that it needs to do to set itself apart, while delivering to the reader a fun and suspenseful story in an amazing genre.
