Review Detail

Reader reviewed by c-alexis

Despite the fact that there wasn't much of a real climax or anything in the story, I liked it overall. I love Kimberly Pauley's idea of vampire- drinking a vampire's blood, the information sessions, and the jobs that go along with it. I thought that the little journal entries that Mina wrote were cute and a good portrayal of a teenage girl trying to make a decision to make a big decision in her life. I can understand that need to write things downt o make sense of things. The little Myth/Truth blob at the beginning of each chapter was also well-done. They were each so funny and cute that it made me looking forward to each new beginning chapter. I just felt that some of the characters were not that well-developed or finished their story right. Though I understand that Mina thinks of Serena as her sister, and would love her. I found it unrealistic that she would let go of her feelings for Nathan in a second and even go an extra step to make things happen between Nathan and Serena. Also, I would have liked a better ending to Aubrey and Raven, both who just disappear without much explanation. Perhaps Pauley wishes to write a sequel? Anyways, the book was good. But some of the characters just felt a little under-developed. But I love the train of thought and story.
