Even when her life is in danger, she constantly thinks about him. Her head is 85% filled with the obsession of Lucas, Lucas, Lucas, and Lucas. I’m currently trying not to throw this book across the room right now, I’m that frustrated with it. Bianca even begins to compare her own relationship to the story. Much like Twilight’s New Moon, we are reminded of the whole Romeo and Juliet element to the current story. With the wraiths, I’m inwardly groaning right now, it starts as an interesting turn of events but then falls into only causing more drama and Bianca whining over ridiculous things. When Balthazar’s sister came into play, it felt like it was a waste of time considering his sister has become “evil” by getting involved with the wrong crowd, alerting Lucas’s vampire hunter squad. What I find terribly depressing about this story is the fact that the author presents this possibly fantastic new element to the story involving wraiths and Balthazar’s sister only to shove it to the back burner the majority of the time. Sum up: Bianca, (born vampire) and Lucas (vampire hunter) = “Star-Crossed Lovers”. We go back to complicated dramatic love story of Bianca and Lucas.

While there may have been new twists added to the story, unfortunately, I still rolled my eyes more times than I can count. I finally picked it up again last week and finished it last weekend. I started this book back in June, but stopped to read other books on my list which called my attention. I began the Evernight series earlier this year.
