What SL teens are saying about the book...

"It was too focused on the romance which seemed nothing but ordinary. There should be more of a draw between the two characters. There was too much teen drama, but not the kind that holds a reader's interest."--Katie F.

"Most books right now talk about vampires, but this book is about another type of monster, and how they can fall in love too."--Stephanie V.
