Summary: A good read and excellent plot foundation!
Review: Though slightly confusing at first, this book immediately throws you into the difficult life of our young heroine, who goes fron trauma to trauma at an incredible rate. It's fast - paced enough to keep you glued to your seat, and different enough from other fantasy books to keep you interested, and of course once you finish, you just HAVE to get the sequal, so I say if you read it, you won't regret it.

Summary: Wow
Review: Wow indeed, this is one of the coolest fantasys I've read. It manages to combine the Light vs. Dark thing into the romance element, which makes for great storytelling. It's a beautiful story, dark at times but no less breathtaking. I actually couldn't help liking Erin (and everyone who knows me knows that I've always got a thing against young heroines). She's brave and strong, and not in the sappy makes-you-want-to-pull-your-hair way, but in the real sense, and I really can't EVER remember thinking that of any character. And Stefanos... there's the real "wow" part. You've got to hate the guy (I mean, who wouldn't?) but then if you don't love him, are you totally screwed? See, that's what makes him so... "wow". He inspires love, hate, fear, and respect on many different levels. What can I say? This is one amazing love story. Then why the 4 stars, you might ask. Well, that has nothing to do with the plot, it's the fact that that Bright Heart or whatever thing got me so confused I skipped the prologue. Even so, a truly supernatural romance you've gotta read.
