![]() ![]() Maybe the author was just sadly in the "out" crowd as a youth and is expressing her deep-seated desire to be "popular" with a bunch of high school kids. ![]() If people want to hear a story (which in this case, no one would care in real life) they tend to go to the gossip mill instead. Plus, after she meets this totally cool guy who saves her life, Julia goes and blabs to everyone in high school, and becomes instantly popular. Julia Parker might as well be Bella Swan for all anyone cares: neither of them have any personality, both of them are stalked by their "boyfriends" who save their lives multiple times, neither are strong heroines, both are described as perfectly normal and yet they manage to have boys drooling all over them. Now, on to details as to why this sucked so much!įor one thing, the characters are seriously lacking in depth and originality. Generally speaking, a sixteen year old in a life-or-death situation is going to use something a little stronger than "darn!" All of this is not helped by the mediocre writing, where the author uses childish dialogue such as "'You're mine now and I'm gonna do whatever I want with you, and he can't do anything about it!' he cackled." Oh, and dear author: it's okay to use a few naughty words sometimes. Basically, the author took the characters from Twilight (plain chick + vampirey stalker guy who saves her life) and stuck them in a generic vampire hunter romance. ![]() The story is stale and uninteresting, superficial and slow. It's trailing on the end of the vampire trend and introduces nothing new. ![]()
