I loved it. I love Kelly's mind, characteristics, and stupid mistakes. I love Ethan (or Michel) most of all. His charms, his amazing acting skills, and how he's a romantic even if he doesn't show it much. The open ending made me give it the extra star. I do wish that the author could suggest a little bit more on their relationship at the end. It sounded very final and a bit... like a final good-bye even if I knew it wasn't. Also, the thing with Regina and more character development with Ian and the father. If you want to read a vampire novel, but is fed up with the "I don't want to be a monster" quote, you should definately try this. Or even if you love the quote, STILL read this. It's a delightful read.

Thumbs up for a decent storyline with plenty of things going on. A very quick read - thankfully. Thumbs down to the author for the delivery of the story. Very poor character development and just a very *boring* writing style in this book. Reads more like a high school student wrote it. Ending wasn't satisfying though I do think Kerry made the smarter choice. This book is very weak on romance as well. As other reviewers have said, I am not buying into it for a second. They are not in love. Ethan is just indebted to Kerry and on the rebound (needs a new "Companion of the Night") and Kerry is intrigued, perhaps infatuated, by Ethan at most. I'm glad I borrowed this book from the library so there was no money wasted. This book has not earned the close to 5 star rating given here. PARENTS: There is one small scene where young prostitutes and a sex shop are involved. Its nothing terrible, but I wouldn't recommend it for younger or less mature children. There is also a good amount of blood and death in the book and it was a teensy bit scary. The mom in me feels compelled to mention this.

...And that is, it's way too short! The one time I would have loved a book to have been longer! I'm even upset there's not a sequel! It's the type of book where you really wish you could be Kerry (the heroine in this too short book). I read this book about a year ago, and it's still in my mind. I rented it from the public library and now it's a part of my own personal one.
