When the story begins in Evernight, Bianca has just left the small town where she's spent her whole life. She's a new student at Evernight Academy, a creepily Gothic boarding school where her classmates are somehow too perfect: smart, sleek and almost predatory. Bianca knows she doesn't fit in.

Evernight Academy is an extremely exclusive boarding school that has just began to relax its entrance requirements, allowing in new students. The new kids stick out like a sparkly vampire in the sunlight. All are aquard and nervous about the first day of school.

Bianca has been shy to the point of pain her whole life, and being at Evernight makes no difference, until she meets a boy named Lucas. Though he is also a new student, he shows every bit of confidence and perfection of the alumni, though he is determained not to be the typical "Evernight type". There's a connection between Bianca and Lucas that can't be denied. She would risk anything to be with himbut dark secrets are fated to tear them apart... and to make Bianca question everything she's ever believed to be true.

Claudia Gray has created a wonderful novel about fantacy, love, betrayal, and mystery. Just when you think that you now what will happen, she is able to shock you in a way that you would never be able to predict. Through the novel you feel mixed emotions, fright, romance, horror, betrayal, sadness, anger, and more. The author mixes real life issues with the enchantment of magical creatures. The shock and cliffhanger at the end will have you rereading the book again and again just so you can try to guess what will happen in her next novel.
