"Throughout all my histories, I found no one I loved more than you...no one."
Those were some of Rhode's last words to me. The last time he would pronounce his love. The last time I would see his face.
It was the first time in 592 years I could take a breath. Lay in the sun. Taste.
Rhode sacrificed himself so I, Lenah Beaudonte, could be human again. So I could stop the blood lust.
I never expected to fall in love with someone else that wasn't Rhode.
But Justin was...daring. Exciting. More beautiful than I could dream.
I never expected to be sixteen again...then again, I never expected my past to come back and haunt me...

4 out of 5 stars
One of the best vampire books I have read. This book is told in an intresting point of view, a girl who was a vampire, and who has not been conscience for 100 years. Adds up to a very intresting book even without an evil coven (that Lenah used to belong to) chasing her and a love for a guy who is pretty creeped out by a girl who has never seen a boat or a stereo.
The book begins with Lenah waking up, seeing Rohde for the last time, and then entering high school, because she is really only 16.
I loved reading from Lenah's point of view, because she would occasionaly forget about being human and slip into vampire thinking until she realized what she was doing. It also took her a long time to get used to all the technology thats been made since 100 years ago.
The vampires in this book were also very original. To them, being a vampire was a loss of life, wishing to be human again. They were filled with pain, so much so that it would drive them insane. The only relief was blood. One other thing I thought was intresting was that they couldn't feel anything, because there nerve endings are dead.
There was never a slow moment, and I finished this faster than I'd thought I would. With an ending that left me begging for the next one, I will be buying this one, and am sad it's not already on my shelf
