Review
I was hesitant to read this book because it seemed similar to many other supernatural young adult novels (ie Twilight). But, as I read this I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed that it's from the male perspective, and also from the insider rather than the outsider. The story is unique and keeps you wondering what is going to happen. The ending is satisfying but definitely encourages the reader to continue with the story and the struggle of the main couple.
