The Vespertine by Saundra Mitchell

4.0

The first hundred pages of The Vespertine were maddeningly frustrating. It was slow and nothing too interesting was happening. Amelia was all about Nate, but at least she admits that she is obsessed with him. It wasn't until the last hundred and something pages that I could not put the book down. Everything was falling into place and you learn more of Nate and the Vespers. I began to understand Amelia and Nate's relationship more and I learned to love their characters. The writing in this book was amazing. The way that Saundra Mitchell wrote in words of that time period blew me away. You can tell a lot of research was put into this book because of the historical accuracy. All in All I give this book a four.
