First book in the series and so far, so good. Looking forward to the next book (Frostbite). I've read the Twilight series, am reading the Blue Bloods Series and the Mortal Instruments series. Not sure that I would compare this to any of those though. It took me a bit to get used to the lingo (Dhampir, Strigoi, Moroi...). I think this book/series seems a little MORE fantasy and a little less realistic and relatable.

For the Mom's out there: I know this is a teen/YA novel, but I would NOT let my teenager read it. There was quite a bit of swearing (f-word included) and way more intimacy and talk of sex than I would allow a teenager to read. I haven't read the whole series, but I think this book probably should have been published as an adult novel.

On a side note, I found a handful of grammatical errors... annoying, but nothing to keep me from reading the book.

Guess I'll see where the next book takes me...
