Title: Evernight
Author: Claudia Gray
Number of Pages: 327
Publisher: Harper Teen

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

The first half of this book was simply painful. I felt like Gray didn’t know what to read, so instead of doing something else, she just let the story go on and on without reaching any point. The characters were unoriginal, and annoying. The story was a major Déjà-vu for me. I almost gave up on it. But I didn’t.

The second half of the book gets better. Enough for me to actually want to pick up the sequel, to see if it will still keep on getting better. There is still this annoying kind of love relation, where they both would give up anything for the other. Even a felling of the Romeo and Juliet with the impossible love twist.

The characters get less horrible as the story goes. You end up tolerating them. The plot is unoriginal, but I think it will get better in the second one (or hope so)

If you’re someone who really really loves vampire books, you’ll probably end up liking it, when they finally decide to include the vampire plot in it. For others, you’ll maybe like it if you make it past the 150 first pages.

This book doesn’t get higher than a 4/10 for me.
