This is a very impressing book.The author,Anette Kurtis-Clause, clearly did her research on Vampires.She added things that are now commonly overlooked in this day and age.Such as vampires entering houses.In order for them to enter ones house they must be invited to do so.
And not mention this is a great love story.Far greater then Twilight in my opinion smile .
Anyways the summary of the book is as follows:
Zoe is 16 and facing bereavement: her mother is dying of cancer, and her father seems to be excluding her from her mother's hospital bedside. No one dares speak to Zoe about the family tragedy, and she is isolated by grief, anger and fear. Then she meets the alluring, enigmatic Simon ("His eyes were dark, full of wilderness and stars"), who has an uncanny ability to recognize her feelings. After a series of nocturnal meetings, Zoe learns that Simon is a vampire kept alive by his thirst to avenge the death of his own mother three centuries ago. Drawn to him by an empathy charged with both longing and fear, Zoe agrees to participate in a dangerous scheme to trap Simon's mother's supernatural killer. The two emerge from their encounter able to mourn and acknowledge their losses. First-novelist Klause is excessively ambitious in her juggling of genres and themes; as a result, her suspense is uneven, her love story inadequately rooted and her resolution just a bit pat. Nevertheless, the use of the vampire figure to exorcise Zoe's complex feelings and often striking prose attest to an intelligent and original eye.

Am I terrible to say that I found this book lame and dissapointing? Not that I found it any better or worse than the twilight books, but I sound it dull and found that it kept dragging on and on. I can sadley say that I couldn't wait for it to end.

I read most of it, but I quit right before the end because I just still couldn't get into it. Blood and Chocolate was really good, though. I even could like the movie, since it was SOOOOOO different that it was something new and exciting. It really couldn't have even been called Blood and Chocolate. It was good, though.

I read it because it was on my summer reading list, and I loved it. I agree, better love story than Twilight, although I was like 'NO!' at the ending, in which case, I think Breaking Dawn beats it out for [best ending] since I almost cried at the end. I was like 'oooo i hope there's a sequel. but there's not :'(
