Editorial Review: Product Description: Bianca wants to escape. She's been uprooted from her small hometown and enrolled at Evernight Academy, an eerie Gothic boarding school where the students are somehow too perfect: smart, sleek, and almost predatory. Bianca knows she doesn't fit in. Then she meets Lucas. He's not the "Evernight type" either, and he likes it that way. Lucas ignores the rules, stands up to the snobs, and warns Bianca to be careful--even when it comes to caring about him. ""I couldn't stand it if they took it out on you,"" he tells Bianca, ""and eventually they would."" But the connection between Bianca and Lucas can't be denied. Bianca will risk anything to be with Lucas, but dark secrets are fated to tear them apart . . . and to make Bianca question everything she's ever believed. Average Rating:

While at first she seems uncomfortable in her new surroundings, and unable to fit in, she soon meets Lucas. Lucas also feels like an outcast. Together they find solace in their differentiation from the crowd of all-too-perfect fellow students. In a current book market that seems flooded with teen vampire, spooky genre-benders, and creepy romance, there seems little new to be found ...

Well it wasn't good, and it sure wasn't interesting. I couldn't even finish this book, it was that bad. Gray was trying too hard to make the book something it wasn't. It had potential, it just didn't reach it.
