I had an absolute blast reading this. There were several problematic things I didn’t remember (such as how Rose is 17 when her and Dmitri get together for the first time), but there were some good messages mixed in too, and honestly, I just had fun. I can’t ask for anything more from a 2007 vampire novel

Somehow these books hold up even though they are almost as old as me. 

I think this story is very mature and nicely handled for the time it came out. 

The age gap between the main love interests didn't bother me as much as other stories because of how well it was handled. The characters new it was wrong, and they make the right decisions in the end. 

I also really liked how it didn't shy away from the topic of depression and self harm; and that sometimes medication and therapy really is the best way to cope with it. 

I just wish we wouldn't have been stuck in Rose's head. 
I would have liked to see more of Christian and Lissa's interactions to really buy into their relationship. 

[ I love Mason and he deserves the world. ]

Im really excited to continue with this series and see where the story takes me next.
