I read this one as a teen and really really liked it. Yes, my love for vampire books has lasted over a decade haha. The thing is... I don't think this one has aged well. I think for a first time reading the genre and for younger readers this will be fine, but I just couldn't connect or understand her decisions and motivations.

Here is the breaking point for me – the main character decides to rely on and trust these people she only just met. Yes, let's count on the people you met 2 days ago that you'll only be living with temporarily AND if anyone finds out they know where you are it is dangerous for them.
Also, let's not forget to mention that the 18 year old is the love interest even after she promised she wouldn't be starting anything. Like, they mention how dangerous for the guys it is for a minor to be living with them – she's a minor! It is sketchy for her to be with older people who might be taking advantage of her and a relationship would be legally wrong. So, of course there will be forbidden romance....

Look,this isn't bad, a great hi-lo, perhaps even a young YA book even if she is in college, but for me now? It didn't work.
