GENERAL REVIEWS:

"Excellent book - you have to let me know when the second one is out... very well written - captivating - suspenseful..." - Bernette Santiago

"(My daughter) took the book from me... She read it in 2 days and since then she has been rereading her favorite passages instead of moving on to a new book (like she did with Twilight). I asked her tonight if she liked it as much as Twilight and she said yes! -- She is anxiously awaiting the sequels." - Christie

[Update] "I finished the book this afternoon. I just loved it also! -- I agree (with my daughter) that I enjoyed it as much as Twilight which we both loved. -- we will be anxiously awaiting the next installment." - Christie
