I'm not a huge vampire fan, but I have to say, I was very pleasantly surprised by this book. I've heard it was written as a reaction to Twilight, and it's definitely that.Marisa blows Bella out of the water. Her character arc is great -- from shy, lonely teenager to bad-ass vamp. Though the text suffers a bit from the need for a line editor, Ms. Thao's style is hypnotic and graceful. Instead of a simple romance, The Turning explores the theme of love in all its forms.Anyone who loves vampires and was annoyed by Twilight had better give this a shot. Well worth the read.Some sexual content and plenty of violence.I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
