As one of an ancient line of creatures who gain energy from human tears, seventeen-year-old Cassandra offers sympathy to anyone at her school or the hospital where she works, but she yearns to be fully human for the boy she loves, even if it means letting her family down.

I wanted to love this book. It has all the makings of a true masterpiece. A cliché(vampires) + hot, unexpected twist. But I must admit it went down with a flop. 

I don't like vampires, I mean I've read a few books about them and liked (some even love)them, but I was never obsess with the beings themselves. 

Anyhow, this "vampire family" don't feed with blood, but the sorrow and sadness of people.

And although I expected to be mesmerize with this intriguing tale, it never did. It was cliché after cliché and I got to admit I barely got half way. 

Warning: I don't know the next can be count as spoilers, I personally think not, but I think I should warn you.

The reason I stopped altogether: the main character likes having boyfriends and then breaking their hearts so she can feed off them. So, she meets this guy and kisses him and thinks: "oh this guy needs some practice." And barely a page after she says she's falling for him without a serious explanation or any kind and/or progression of how her feelings got there.

Anyway, I think it's clear what I thought about this book. I tried getting through it, but there's so many books out there and didn't think I could handle more of this one.
