Review

For starters, I hate vampires! Always have. However, I got real sick of not knowing what all the fuss was about this book so, after seeing the movie previews, I decided to read it. It was actually pretty good. It was a great combination of romance and suspense. The setting in which the book takes place is so realistic that it makes everything easy to picture in your mind. It took me no time at all to read. It isn't exactly the most well written book and was often repetitive, but I still liked it for some weird reason. I think this is probably a good transition into fantasy for me.

Overall

Will continue to read serious!

Cover B+

The cover is simple but attractive. I can remember picking it up to see what it was about in Walmart because I liked the cover. It is original but it just seems like it could have been a tiny bit better.
