If she is to survive, she must weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

==At first sight, the book didn't look interesting. Also, the fact that the book was only available in hard cover usually is a turn off for me too. Too formal. But...on the advice of Jenn, who hasn't let me down yet, I went ahead and read it.

I could NOT put this book down. Stephanie Meyer was right about this one!
The book is so well written, it's like watching a movie inside your head. You are transported there. You live through everything with the characters. You laugh aloud and cry in silence. The ending of the book leaves you aching for more...==
P.S. I was glad that the book wasn't paranormal at all.
