Alright, as you know, I suck at reviews. I don't want to give anything like a synopsis in case I give the game away, but just so you know, there are VAMPIRES in this book.Sparkly vampires are frightening for all the wrong reasons. I don't think three hundred year old vampires should date high school girls. Maybe it's illegal, maybe it isn't, but it certainly should be.No sparkly vampires in here, thank god. They're dirty, they're violent, but Giglio handles smut and violence equally well, with maturity and a deft hand. There isn't anything clumsy about this book. There's nothing coarse in it, and yet it still made you feel icky...in a good way.I'm conscious that a review should be short and sweet, so in short, I loved this. The main character, Edie, was brilliantly drawn. The supporting cast were great...it left me wanting more, wanting sequels, or a novel...and that's a very good thing. Love it.
