Despite a promising start, this story disappointed me. If the read is rather short, easy to absorb, it is also a little disjointed. But the coverage is beautiful ...Thus, opening with a drowning and a visit to the emergency room from the heroin, I was really attached to my book. I really enjoyed myself while turning the pages. Ditto when she was followed by shadows on her way home. I enjoyed the anticipation. However, once the author presented me the monster, I began to stall. This deadly creature is not detailed enough, not enough to be described as one that should be avoid. And from this point, what had been a nice story began to annoy me.Melissa, who wanted to have a taste of independence became the shadow of Mike. Unable to stay alone, she is always whining and waiting for Mike to help her. A very immature heroine...As for Mike, the reader knows almost nothing about him. Only that he manipulates the girls and he plays with his glamour and attraction. Not necessarily a hero to whom I wish to believe in or to support.In terms of the love story between them, it is very light. Sometimes I even wondered if there was actually an attraction on Mike's part when you see how much he puts the brakes. Sure, he always has a good reason...Big disappointment also with the Twilight's references. If the first one could have been humorous, going to the theater with a vampire and compare your adventure with Bella and Edward, I thought it was a bit heavy.Yet the potential is there. I liked the idea of ​​vampires, a little retro, who prefer to use tools of the century in which they died and who are skeptical of modernity. It was interesting. I also liked the start but it is as if the author had lost his concentration or if it had not been comfortable with the invention of his paranormal universe.I remain lukewarm and a little disappointed. Perhaps the author will succeed to surprise me in his sequel by offering a more detailed story that will not have you dropping along the way.Lucienewbooksonmyselves.blogspot.fr/
