Ahem. Personally, I think it's even better than Twilight. If nothing else, the idea is certainly more original. And Ian, as a character, is just as romantic - if not more so - than Edward.

I'm a huge fan of the book. Also a huge fan of Ian. :swoon:

Personally, I was a bit horrified over the Souls at first, although then I grudgingly began to love them. (Who couldn't like Wanderer?) Their peaceful nature was <i>such</i> a dramatic change from the typical alien-invasion, and I found it refreshingly unique. Wanda's distaste of guns was both amusing and sweet as well.

The humans were even more amazing. Especially Ian. (Have I mentioned that I <i>love</i> Ian? :blush: ) I found her descriptions much more refined in this book, I could picture the caves so vividly that it was surreal.

And I think my favorite scene either has to be when Jared is about to get beat up and Mel/Wanda steps out in front of him.

Aww, Jamie is such a sweetie. I love the bits where him and Ian team up against Jared to defend Wanda, because Jamie especially is so cute in how he does it. I also love his childlike reasoning accompanied by adult maturity. Such an awesome character.

Hmm. Didn't know she'd written anything else. Before or after the Edward book?

Other people I have talked to that read it didn't enjoy it any where near as much as Twilight, but from the reviews you guys are giving, I'll have to check it out!
