Compelling Aspect of the Book: The most compelling aspect of the book would have to be the descriptiveness and detail of symptoms and behaviors of this so called vampire and wolves. I felt as if i were in the book.
Were you disappointed with the book at all: I was a little disappointed with the plot of the story. I find a lot of the media and book world focusing on wolf and vampire tales right now. What a surprise to open up this book and have it be all about the topic.
Comments: I really enjoyed how the life of these students were comparative to the real life of a teenager. It felt like déjà vu in a sense when the book told of how the school district does not care about the bullying and discrimination of other student body. The life of these characters was the actual life of many students that go through the same situation, without the teeth and paws.
Cover: The cover consisted of red lettering over a black background. The cover wasn't very tempting, although with the interesting title of the book it does have potential to be. I have some great ideas for a cover if interested.
