First let me say that I find it strange that a book who’s main character is a girl, has a boy on the cover. At least I’m almost positive it’s a boy. (and I do think I know why, but still)
Weird.
I thought it was a nice, refreshing twist on “vampires”, some race of people who need to feed off of your tears and sorrow to survive.
I was at odds with Cass though, the main character, where I enjoyed her and could empathize with the demands on her life, I felt like she didn’t come across completely teen-ish. It felt like maybe she was more of an adult. Which if you think about it, I suppose makes sense because she’s been “feeding” her family for years, taking in everyone’s sorrow, listening to their stories.
I really liked the fact that Scott, the love interest, was just a normal guy. He wasn’t bad boy, in this world of bad boys, he believes in God, doesn’t care that people know, is sensitive to the feelings of others, and yet still a teen boy.
I thought the developement of the friendship between Cass and Samantha was pretty awesome. And really liked the turn the story took once Cass thought about stepping into the life she wants.
The part I felt fell flat and was very quick was the whole thing with Cass’ cousin.
Overall I enjoyed it.
I had to return this book to the library so there are no quotes today.
