I
have recommended this book to absolutely everyone who has asked about
it--and believe me, many people have. The cover is not exactly
unremarkable. At first, I thought I was crazy, picking up this strange
gold lip glossed, misunderstood-high-school-girl book. I have no idea
why I did. But it was easy to get into. The writing is well done, the
characters are likable, the plot is intense and twisting. I was
surprised at this book's greatness. There was, however, one small
drawback. About half way through, I stopped and really started thinking
over the plot line. (I mean really thinking,
not just pondering :-) And I realized that it was suspiciously similar
to that of Twilight. Girl moves from sunny city to cold and tiny town
where she discovers the existence of magical creatures and their role
becomes prominent in her life, not to mention the crazy beautiful,
monsterfied boy in whom she takes an active interest. Hmmm, I thought, that seems odd. But never fear, avid readers! The plot twists! This is no vampire love story. It's a...well, it is
partially a love story...but no vampires involved, I promise. :-) The
voice is so unique and the myths so well-researched that you will
hardly notice. Go at it, I say!
