I really enjoyed this book; the imagery was palpable and touched upon all of the five senses, it made you feel like you were really there in the midst of the Mexican Revolution.

Paulelica then tries to establish boundaries with Lucian, and it goes exactly as you'd predict. Betsy and Paul try to come up with more were-creatures

We find more damning evidence of how "Twilight" completely robbed from TVD. Elena goes full stalker on Stefan; she promises herself that they will both die if he doesn't return his love for her, and she makes her friends do a blood oath to help her win his heart. For some reason nobody thinks this is creepy and everyone still thinks she's the coolest blonde normal cheerleader that's ever lived.

We hear more of Elena's inner dialogue; she thinks everyone at school besides her and her friends are 'peasants' and she gets offended when boys don't sexually harass her in the hallways. She openly admits to using boys like objects; Stefan claims to be attracted to her because he can read her mind and finds it to be 'strong' and not 'psychopathic' like we do.
