People pity me, but mostly they feel envy. I have all the luxury and freedom a girl my age could want.
Something is happening to Charlotte Emerson. Like the fires that are ravaging the hills of Los Angeles, it consumes her from the inside out. But whether it is her eternal loneliness, the memory of her brother, the return of her first love, or the brooding, magnetic Jared-she cannot say. What if it's something more...
Something to do with the sudden tear in her perfect nails. The heat she feels when she's with Jared. The blood rushing once again to her cheeks and throughout her veins.
For Charlotte is a vampire, witness to almost a century's worth of death and destruction. But not since she was a human girl has mortality touched her. In a way will you be transformed? Until now
My review.
This was a VERY light read, took me like a hour and half to read. It is about a vampire name Charlotte who is kind of on the run from her maker William who she was with for most of the century. She has a best friend Emily who passes away and Emily's boyfriend Jared knows what Charlotte is. There is drama, love, vampires and lost. I was not into this book at all. I did finish it because it was so short, that's the only reason. I can't pin point why it didn't catch me. This writing was good and the story about can a Vampire come back to life is interesting. I just could not connect with the character to really care about what happened to them. I will try another Francesca Lia Block book but not if this is going to be a series. I will have to catch a completely new story with new characters..
Did you read this book, tell me what you thought.
