I enjoyed reading this book from Jack's POV. Usually I don't like male's POV because it lacks emotion that I could relate to but this time it wasn't the case. The storyline was very intriguing and I was surprised when a vampire turned back into human. Well, sort of human.Jack was a likeable character that I felt like I understood where he was coming from. Those possessive thoughts about Silver were a little creepy but at least he didn't act on them too much. And I couldn't quite understand the reaction from Jack's friends when they found out he didn't die but turned into human instead. They took it as a betrayal as if he did it on purpose which was baffling to me.Silver was interesting but I didn't like it when she was withholding information from Jack that he was better off knowing sooner rather than later. She also wanted things to go her way and was a little pushy about it and it made her look immature. When she started to push Jack to do something he didn't want to at a possibility he could die just because she wanted to get this prophesy over with and get on with her life as a normal person, I was starting to dislike her. And when she actually went behind Jack's back to kill a werewolf and almost got everyone with her killed it was a done deal.The letter he wrote to Silver was weird to say the least. I don't know how those words would have any impact on Silver or explain them but I guess you can't expect much more from a guy. I was surprised Silver didn't challenge him.I liked those special little powers Jack was getting especially that tapping into memories. Jersey was a cryptic guy. I figured pretty soon who and what he was but I didn't know what his agenda was with Jack and Silver. If he knew about Lovely's premonitions wouldn't it make sense he would get rid of them both as soon as he got the chance? I was kind of disappointed when he was portrayed as insane toward the end. But oddly enough I kind of liked the guy and I was glad he chose a different path ... for now anyway.I didn't see Summer coming. I thought this was going to be a twist in the story and plans will have to change. But I was disappointed when nothing happened. I was confused what the point of this scene was. I'm guessing by the subtle hints this will be revealed in future books though.This was a great read with some unique twists to the story. I like how this author tells a story and the way characters were portrayed and developed. A couple of times I was rolling my eyes when Jack and Silver were trying to be affectionate and the dialogue got a little too mushy for me. The warning in Lovely's diary at the very end had me intrigued and I'm definitely reading the sequel.
