Evernight by Claudia Gray
4.0
This book has somehow come into my life years ago already. I have no clue why, but I have a German edition on my shelf. But somehow I never gotten to reading it and when I discovered it again, years later, because I fell in love with Claudia Gray I wondered why. So, when I found out that the books were not that easy to get in matching English editions anymore, I took a huge leap of faith and ordered them all five.
And I totally do not regret that! This book was everything I had hoped it would be and then some. I was actually expecting a very cliché story about an innocent girl falling in love with a vampire boy and the thrilling excitement of that waiting for me already got me on the tips of my toes during the first 100 pages. And then, all of a sudden there was a twist that came not really out of nowhere, but did take me by surprise. And I loved it.
The book is very fast paced and focusses a lot on the romance. I know that this is Claudia Gray, so that's what I was looking forward to. I wanted this nice and easy read for in between, for a lazy Thursday when I was tired or not feeling well. And Claudia Gray delivers! And within this fast paced vampire romance she managed to wrap so much more.
Nice characters, that are vivid and feel very real. A mythology that works, even though we're only discovering it very slowly. A storyline that kept me on the edge of my seat, eager to turn page after page.
I'm so glad I bought the entire series! But, to prevent a reading slump, let's keep the second book away from me until next week ;-)
