For about the first 1/3 of the book I couldn't understand what all they hype was about but then it suddenly kicked into gear and I really got into it. One of my favorite aspects of the book is the characters; even though Diana is wishy-washy and Matthew is brooding, all the side characters support the story very nicely and make it more interesting. Alot of this book is back-story and set-up since it's part of a trilogy; the action doesn't really start until the last 1/3 of the book but it makes up for it and I like where the plot is heading. It got a bit mired down in some of the parts where it's focusing on alchemy and biology/DNA but the parts focusing on the lives of vampires, witches and demons were engrossing. A few parts were somewhat reminiscent to Twilight but it is in no way mind-numbing like Twilight was. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
