Summary

Seventeen-year-old Kia barely survived her parents divorce several years ago. Now her mom is in the hospital battling cancer and Kia is stuck with her workaholic father, leaving her searching for an escape from the everyday horrors of her life.

She finds this escape with a group of people acting out a dark fantasy. These vampires spend all night in dark clubs, wearing gothic outfits, and even baring fake fangs. But when Kia meets Damon, she begins to wonder if maybe a true vampire exists among them, one who could be the answer to all of her problems . . .
 


Review

Plot: Kia has had a difficult life. First, her parents divorced. And jsut when life was good again, her mom got cancer. Now she's stuck living with her robot-like dad. He tries but obviously not enough. Kia slowly starts withdrawing from everyone, even her best friends. Then she finds a whole new world she never thought of before. It's a world of vampires and darkness. Her friends worry about this world (especially because she's practiaclly dropped out of school now) but she doesn't care. It helps her feel better.
 
Character(s): Kia -  She doesn't feel like she fits in anywhere. Even her friends don't understand her. She feels like she has to hide everything from everyone and doesn't confide in anyone. She keeps everything bottled up and snaps at people when she gets too stressed. She's a kind person though. She cares about her mom greatly. She feels guilty if she ever misses a trip to the hospital and loves people greatly.
 
Cover: The cover was a bit confusing to me, but I did like it. The font and color are cool. It has an eerie sort of feel that matches the book well.
 
Closing Thoughts: I'm only giving this book a one because to be honest, I didn't like it. I barely wanted to finish it, but I did. I was confused through the whole thing if it was suppsoed to be realistic or fantasy. It was weird and unrelatable. The way she acted, the things she did. None of if seemed to flow well.

Q: What is the one ARC you would love to get your hands on right now? A: That's so hard! I have to say that probably Silence (Hush, Hush #3) by Becca Fitzpatrick is the one I want the most. I haven't even gotten the chance to read Crescendo yet, but I loved Hush, Hush and am hooked into this series. The covers, the writing, the characters, the plot...everything! I would love to have this ARC! Q: Talk about the book that most changed or influenced your life (was it a book that turned you from an average to avid reader, did it help you deal with a particularly difficult situation, does it bring you comfort every time you read it?).   A: I would have to say that the Twilight Saga is what influenced my life. I read the series around three years ago before the movies came out. During that time, my family was going through so much and it was hard to handle it. I didn't have that much support to go to and I was confused as to my position and my health. I got hooked to Twilight bec...

Q: Let’s talk crazy book titles! Highlight one or two (or as many as you like!) titles in your personal collection that have the most interesting titles! If you can’t find any, feel free to find one on the internet! A: I'll stay true and look at my bookshelf. I don't have any crazy titles, but one that I got for my birthday is The Element Encyclopedia of Vampires: An A-Z of the Undead by Theresa Cheung . My sister bought it for me since she said this is "exactly" what I needed. Q: How has your reading habits changed since you were a teen? or If you are still a teen what new genres are you in love with currently? A: I love romance! I think that I'm a hopeless romantic, so I NEED romance. I can't get into a book if it has absolutely no romance. I've always been into urban fantasy, romance, and Young Adult, but I think I'm getting into more historical fiction. Q: Author Block Party: If you could gather a handful of authors to hang out with, who would you ...
