This book is a combination of Sookie Stackhouse and the Twilight novels. All the themes are familiar - a teenage lovestory, telepath and immortal, with a couple of twists. It was an good read, but I just kept wondering if the author got her ideas from Charlaine Harris and the Twilight author.

I loved this book. The more I read it, the more I thought I knew what was going to happen. Wrong! A sweet and sometimes sad story of what the term "lifelong friendship" really entails. I was sorry when it was over.

I have had this book for a long time but just now got around to reading it. I loved it! It was so engrossing that I finished it in 2 days. It is a nice sweet book to escape from your daily worries with. I think I might check out more books by this author now.

Interesting, but I could feel the author's ulterior motive all through the book - use prison time to write book make money. Left a bad taste in my mouth.

I read the whole book, but I was tempted to stop several times. For me, there were too many characters and it made for a confusing read. I'd rather have a book where I do not have to concentrate so hard to keep track of who is doing what. I really did not care for it much and really could not recommend it.

I really did not know what to expect from this novel, but once I started it was totally engrossing. It is an interesting take on robbery - and it was a good way to escape into fiction for a while. I highly recommend it!

I tried to like this book - I really did. But after several chapters, I gave up. I just could not make myself care about these characters.
