I have to respectfully disagree with Ms. Mercier's review.  It could be that she skimmed through the book as opposed to actually reading it but this was a very engaging story for me.  I agree, Melissa is annoying at times but I also find that I can identify with a lot of what her thought process is throughout the story.  She can also be a whiner but she is a girl right out of high school that doesn't think real highly of herself and a great looking mysterious man pays her attention after he saves her life.  He seems to like her and want to spend time with her and she is attracted to him.  She is also faced with some very bizarre supernatural things going on around her which would freak out most anyone.I don't want to spoil this book for others that are going to buy and enjoy it so I won't give too much away. The descriptions throughout the book are amazing.  I can see what is going on as it takes place, picturing the supernatural creatures that are a part of this book, as well as picture the people in the story.  The descriptions of the places that the story takes place are so well written that it feels as though I am going through the story with the characters.  I got a major creepy feeling with Michaels "uncle" and wanted to visit the "Peach Tree Restaurant" to see where Melissa works to see if her boss is really as annoying as he seems.  Melissa's friend Debbie is also someone that I really liked seeing how she was going to play out in the book.Personally I am excited to see how the rest of the story is going to develop, which is what happens in a series.  I don't expect all the answers in the first book but instead look forward to the next book in the series. You can't for instance read say The Two Towers and think you know everything that is going to happen in The Lord of the Rings series.  I can't wait to see what kind of new exciting supernatural creatures are introduced in the next book and to see how the relationships grow and develop.  For me this book is wavering on 4.5-5 stars.  Melissa is an annoyance but I think she is portrayed as a whiner well.  For my taste, I would have liked to see the relationship a little more physical but it works well with the way that it is written for this book making me anxious for the next book so I can see their relationship grow.
