I am torn about how I feel about this book. I am very disturbed that it has been suggested to me that 10 year olds are reading this. This is not a Harry Potter Book people. Please read what your children are reading, or at least take a minute and read the cover.

My over all. It's ok. I enjoyed reading it. It's not really geared for adults. It is definately a teen read, junk food for the adolenscent mind.

With ideas of the mysterious vampire guy from school laying in bed next to me at night, and intimate moments of deep intense foreplay I really can't say a 10 year old would understand.

The two main characters are well developed and the relationship is believable the further you read. The rest of the story fades. As the first of 4 I hope they get better. There is only so much of the bruting vampire one can handle.

This whole story has been told before. It's called "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" the Series. Only difference is this vamp prefers grizzlies (the vegan version apparently). For the withdrawn Buffy Fan this may ressurect those great memories.

Go see the movie after reading this. It makes you feel much better that you read the book. The emotions translated to film are worth it. I just wish the film company went a tad deeper with the relationship of the rest of the characters. It's gonna make it a bitch to explain things in the sequal.
