I liked it, but holy crap, is it ever twitchy and jumpy. Like, we're talking meth addict who just chugged a Red Bull and down 5 of those giant pixie sticks level.

Schuyler (seriously?) is your standard "odd girl out" at a preppy New York school for rich people. And she's also a vampire. The back of the book just flat out tells you this; but it isn't revealed until about halfway through. And even that isn't handled very well. There's no dramatic buildup, just standard high school things, until BAM! Schoolmate gets murdered. More standard teen crap, BAM! Schuyler gets a random letter, goes to this fancy society event, and the hostess pretty much goes "You may have noticed some changes in your body this is because pub-- I mean, vampires. So, you're all vampires now, go have Edward Cullen adventures and things. You can't die. So have fun with that." And then we're treated to more generic teen drama, and then again, BAM! Turns out you can die, the vampires are getting killed by horrifying scary monster thing. And all of this is still covered in the blurb, and we're about 3/4 of the way through the book.

The rest of the story just goes on like this. A steady rhythm of Gossip Girl-esque teen drama, interspersed with random, out of the blue plot twists. It's like it has the book equivalent of heart palpitations. The characters also all act like this. Just random changes of hearts, revelations and all sorts of crazy crap. Seriously, my opening simile about the meth addict is probably the best way I can describe this book.

Be that as it may, still leaps and bounds ahead of Twilight. I'll probably pick up the next book in the series soon. ( )

one of my co-workers is reading this series and she recommended this to me. I love Vampire/Paranormal reads this was just really slow for me ( )

Schuyler is a regular girl at her school but she keeps seeing things, things that are and are not there. Even worse someone is trying to kill her, she must find out who it is and stop them.

I had tried to read this before but never got into it, this time was very different. It is about vampires but it is really different. I don't understand jack, he is just... Weird. He should be with her. ( )

cute series! ( )

It started off very slowly but sped up in the middle and by the end I was hooked. A great twist on the vampire mythos. ( )
