So, this book is the first vampire book from Little, Brown since the Twilight Saga so naturally I had to give it a try given the big Twilight fan I am! I absolutely loved this book! The story and the characters are truly original and unlike any other vampire book I've read.  This book gives you a nice refreshing take on vampires which is one of the reasons this book is as good as it is.  Unlike Twilight, the center of this book does not revolve solely on the romance but rather the struggle and journey of the character Tana.  The romance is sort a like a side story to the real meat of the novel. The adventure in this novel keeps you guessing with every page you turn.  I also like that Tana is a very strong character who fights and fends for herself  throughout the novel.  If you like Twilight then you will like this book! However, if you don't like Twilight because you aren't keen on the focus of romance in the novel then I think you will enjoy this novel as well.  I really wish there was a sequel to keep the story going but sadly it's just a standalone :(.  You guys should definitely check this book out when it is released September 3rd, 2013!
