[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I liked it.  It was Twilight fan fiction so if you hated Twilight, don't bother with this.  The sex scenes and themes have gotten a lot of attention but I can genuinely say that the most interesting and rewarding part is the emotional relationship and development.  Certain things annoyed me (repetitive phases, etc.) but didn't ruin the books for me.  The author is British and on one hand, the conversation between the characters is not what you'd expect from young Americans in Oregon and Washington state.  At the same time, the main female character is all into British historical fiction and a geek, so perhaps it's ok.  It's an entertaining read.  I wasn't totally shocked but it's an interesting concept and kept me turning the (virtual) pages.[/quote]

I liked it too. You know, when I read it, I had no idea it was Twilight fan fiction until after I read it. I didn't like Twilight (the books), but I liked this book, and I did not see a connection at all. I don't understand how it got so much exposure though. I read frequently, and I have read romance books better than this, that received no attention at all. I think it's one of the reasons some are turned off by the book. If you never read a certain genre of books, but you see all the attention a book gets and read that genre for the first time, you are pretty much guaranteed to hate it or love it.[/quote]

Funny, I did enjoy Twilight and I can't get into these books.  Of course I bought all three...[/quote]
