Review:

I started reading this book this afternoon because I was bored stiff. I didn't know what to do with myself so I went into my little sister's room to talk to her. I saw Nightshade sitting on her bedside table and asked if I could read it. To be honest I was expecting a silly teen paranormal romance that I could roll my eyes and laugh at. I didn't think i'd actually like it... or spend all afternoon reading it, snapping at anyone who interrupted me. The book reminded me of the song Bittersweet by Apocalyptica. 

So now that I have a day to think about this book.. i'm not sure that I liked it as much as I initially thought I did. It's not that it's a bad book, it's not. It's just lacking. Lacking in most areas. I won't say too much more about it. I really don't want to spoil it for anyone wanting to read it. 

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars.
