Evernight


Author: Claudia Gray
Rating: 4 stars
Synopsis: (courtesy HarperTeen)

Bianca wants to escape.

She's been uprooted from her small hometown and enrolled at Evernight Academy, an eerie Gothic boarding school where the students are somehow too perfect: smart, sleek, and almost predatory. Bianca knows she doesn't fit in.

Then she meets Lucas. He's not the "Evernight type" either, and he likes it that way. Lucas ignores the rules, stands up to the snobs, and warns Bianca to be careful—even when it comes to caring about him.

"I couldn't stand it if they took it out on you," he tells Bianca, "and eventually they would."

But the connection between Bianca and Lucas can't be denied. Bianca will risk anything to be with Lucas, but dark secrets are fated to tear them apart . . . and to make Bianca question everything she's ever believed.

My Opinion: I enjoyed this book. It is the first book in a series. It started off a bit rocky for me. I found it a little harder to get into the book than usual but once I did I found myself really enjoying it. Initially, I was suspicious that this was just going to be another twilight rip-off but surprisingly this book held its own. It took a different take on the popular girl falls in love with the oh so sexy vampire because in this book without giving too much away the girl is the vampire. It was a good enjoyable read and I do recommend it. I am going to be reading the rest of the series and reviews will follow.
