This book is such a quick read but the ending is so bittersweet, it's hard giving it 5 stars ): it's a timeless book but definitely not a favorite :) recommend at least reading it once though!

2.5 stars ***spoilers*** I read this in a day because it was so short and didn't make me think. It was very predictable. The whole seems to know Zoe's mom has cancer and even in a small town, that's something since she doesn't talk to anyone besides her best friend, Lorraine. I used to live in a small town, I know this. People would takl about her cancer, make jokes and everything, but not talk about it? People are all over cancer nowadays. The romance was quick, like one night stand hook-up quick. One moment they see each other and the next they are having a make out fest. Simon controlled Zoe to help him kill his brother. He went about it so childishly also. A pit of stakes? Girl bait? He's 300 years old and living on the streets? I can go on forever because the author didn't think when she wrote the book apparently.

Really wonderful writing, and a solid story-- a little melodramatic and unbelievable at times near the middle, but overall a great YA vampire novel!

** spoiler alert ** As I said before in my Preview Simon and Zoë are normal people except the fact that Simon is a 300 years old vampire. Simon survived years and years for his revenge; but when he appeared in Zoë’s life he felt changes. now he care for someone’s safety and now he fear for someone. Zoë. On the other hand Zoë was a normal teenager until her mother’s sickness. Zoë fall for the boy with the silver hair and help him to reach his revenge at the very same time he help her to go through the idea of death. In the end Zoë helps Simon for his soul salvation and I know she will never forget his last words “I love you, Zoë. “ The characters are amazing and full of life comparing to the fact of death that taking over the story. Yes, from the moment you start reading you will believe that they do exist. The story has a well written a dramatic weaving, specially from Simon’s flash back story. What I am so sad about is that the story is so short. I wanted more events. Over all the author is so smart and wrote a perfect plot that will never gets you bored. I recommend this book for Young Adults +14: because some of the language and the scenes can never suite the minds of younger teens.

I have read this book so many times that I've lost count. I really don't know what about it I love so much, but for some reason, this is one of those books and I can read over and over again without getting tired of it.
