Customer Reviews

Creative.
I really enjoyed reading this book, and found the storyline was great. the mentions about silver bloods, blue bloods etc. confused me a bit, but it was all explained to me in the end (i think.). i thought that the new twist to vampires was good, considering the fact that de la Cruz managed to make them fit seamleassly into the Upper-East-Side lifestyle. Being a vamp-novel junkie, i'd say this was a good one. well, actually, i haven't found a vampire novel i don't like yet (except maybe Vampyre Legion be Alan Gibbons - that was a WEIRD book). this is going on my 'good books' list. :)

Learn The Language!!!
All in all, not a bad read, certainly not the most captivating book ever written - all the descriptions of clothes labels go WAY over my head. My main problem with the series is the lack of research de la Cruz seems to put in - as a latin scholar myself, I can tell you most of the latin phrases she uses are in the wrong case, she uses verbs where nouns should be, and it gets VERY annoying. Also, the name given to a half-blood between a human and an angel is NEPHILIM. I'm sorry, but she's going to have to do better next time

Not what I thought it would be like ....
I was very dissapointed with this book, thinking it was going to be less predictable, and less of a drag. In reality, it is dreary and slightly longwinded, and I did not like the main character s at all, as i did not think they were fully developed and all that interesting. I won't be reading the second one, that's for sure
