I wanted to like this book. I really did. There is a new twist on vampires...Sort of. "Uh, vampires? Well I guess you could call us that'. "Do we have to drink blood?" "Uh blood? No, well yes, I mean I guess we do." WTF???? These are supposedly men who have lived HUNDREDS of years answering the main characters questions as if it's something they've never really thought of and are not really sure of. It was very stilted. There are some very interesting theories and if the author would take the time to round out the plots and characters just a bit more. Definitely no comparison to Twillight....at all. Also, as another reader pointed out, the speech is seriously odd for teens from Kansas. "I got my shoes from the cupboard". Not closet. And a 15 year old calling her 'boyfriend'(???) "darling". Just odd wording in places that make you pause.
