My other problem with the humans is why anybody would think it's a good idea to put a few walking and talking blood banks in the middle of a horde of hungry vamps. Gee, I'm 'only' 27 and I wonder how on earth I managed to learn how to 'operate' my iPod (that has no wireless connection because that's EXACTLY what I'd want to do on my tiny screen, check my email *eyeroll*) in such a short amount of time. Yet they all act like they were zapped into this century.

If you need classes to learn how to use a microwave then I'm seriously doubting the intelligence of the average vampire.

Yes the world changes, new inventions pop up left and right. Which brings me to my next issue: The vamps act like they lived under a rock for most of their long lives. Also, what's up with the humans? They are supposed to be there to 'help the vamps adjust to the new world'. Bianca bites Lucas and suddenly we learn:Īnd from then on the word 'vampire' is mentioned practically every other sentence. Vampires are mentioned once during an English lit class. It would be the same thing if we suddenly find out Bianca has a penis. But altering your writing to deliberately hide something very important, never even hinting towards it even once and then suddenly go SURPRIIIIIISE! is not my idea of writing a good story. Kim is bothered.įirst of all: I like subtlety. Both of them are about to discover that secrets can be very dangerous things, and that a simple kiss can change your life forever. Lucas is on a mission to uncover the secret behind Evernight Academy - but he has his own secrets, and so does Bianca.

Just when Bianca has resigned herself to being lonely forever, she meets Lucas - an outcast like Bianca, even if he's way too hot to possibly be interested in her. Soon Bianca discovers she could never fit in with the Evernight students - they're just too sleek, sophisticated and beautiful to be real. Hidden in the woods, there's something more than a little creepy about her mysterious new home. Bianca is devastated when she finds herself uprooted from her small town and sent to Evernight Academy, an elite boarding school. Think you've seen it before? Well get ready for a shock, because this is paranormal romance with a twist. A lonely girl, a beautiful boy and a load of terrifying vampires.
