“I'm reading this one at the moment I'm writing this reveiw. I decided to buy it after seeing the film adapation, otherwise, I wouldn'thave bothered with it, as I enjoyed the film. I gave it a four because although I think it's well written, (in comparsion to the awful paranormal romances I've read in the past that bookshops and publishers try to market as Urban Fantasy when they are clearly not) the character Bella is in writer's terms, a bit of a Mary Sue, but once you get past that, the book is very enjoyable and mature, for something that is obviously written for teenage girls and by that I mean the quality of the writing, not the subject matter. It's a welcome change to come across a book with a supernatural theme that has a romance where we actully see the relationship between the two main characters grow and not a "love at first sight" Sherrilyn Kenyon/Christine Warren kind of way, followed by twenty chapters of them having sex, or like Kerri Arthur's work, where the main female character just sleeps around with men just for the sake of it and the readers are then tortured with every intimate detail of it. So please, lay off the critisim of this book.”
