This book comes the closest to the feel of Twilight as anything I have read except for the ending which disappointed me just a little. That being said, I would recommend this book to any one looking for a good story whether they liked Twilight or not.

I thought this book was okay. I liked the main characters and I did want to keep reading to find out what would happen to each of them. I did not like how much of the book was focused on having or not having sex and there was some swearing so this is not a clean read. That being said, it was a quick easy read.
