I was given this book by Paranormal Romance & Authors That Rock for an honest review. I gave it 3 fangsthis book is the first in a sequel, the book is about a teenage girl Victoria, "Tori" who moves from LA to a small rural town in NY.Tori meets Sophie who makes friends with her and introduces her to Crispin and Justin, two hot boys. Tori knows her mum is keeping secrets about her past and slowly with the help of her friends she uncovers it all.The concept is not new, reading the book it was like a mash between twilight, the secret circle, and teen wolf.  But it kept me entertained and I managed to read it all without getting too annoyed with the obvious grammatical errors and spelling mistakes,At the beginning of the book you can tell the writer is young, in the way the dialogue is written and the story is a bit slow to begin with but I am sure as she gets more experience her characters will develop and grow.I did not have a  favourite character, why?  Well I guess it was because they were all pretty much involved in the story line and there wasnt one who leaped out at me, the characters felt 2 dimensional, the storyline was pretty predictable.Most of the scenes had some grammatical error or would have a sentence that made no sense due to a misused word or spelling, his for was, etc.I'm not one who gets hung up on the odd spelling error, and I don't want to be too critical seeing the story was first  written when the author was 16 year old its got potential, but the hardest part of writing is to read it and notice where your brain has skipped over a missed word, or read it correctly when it's got an obvious spelling mistake, but the amount in this book got me frustrated, as they are simple ones which should have been picked up in editing.twilight  is spelt twiligh for instance? Why did the editor not see this?The story ends on a Cliffhanger but not a really tense one, the book ends quite quickly and I think the grand finale could have been fleshed out and made more dramatic.To summarise, i think the book will appeal to YA readers who like the monster, vampire  etc genre  But for most readers I can see them getting as frustrated as I did.
