It was a mix of fantasy and science-fiction and I don’t think anyone’s put this much thought into a vampire’s physiology. Where vamps come from, the blood drinking, the aging, the abilities, all of it. Basically, Caitlin was very curious as to how the vampire thing worked so she asked a lot of questions. They started off as friends, they shared many a conversations and their feeling slowly changed and grew.

He’s really sweet too and I loved how his and Caitlin’s relationship developed. She’s strong and resilient and I was surprised that I really like her. Caitlin is a smart girl who’s also silly at times. Even with the fact that Adrian is a vampire, though that’s probably because she doesn’t really believe him at first. She has her bad moments because she’s still dealing with her mother’s death, but usually, she’s sarcastic and sees the humour in things. But the storm wasn’t just a storm and now some evil, supernatural dude is coming after Caitlin and Adrian is the designated bodyguard. Then she get caught in a storm and is saved by Adrian, a guy who also goes to her school. It’s not the most desirable situation but it’s what she’s got. Caitlin’s mother recently died and she’s living with her aunt. In fact, I’m going to stop all comparisons right here and review the novel as an individual. This novel is so much better than Twilight in so many ways. It’s like saying that ever book with an evil government, oppressed people and a revolution, is The Hunger Games, when most of dystopian fiction fits that description. But honestly, the similarities aren’t substantial. Makes sense because it’s a vampire romance featuring a girl who moves into town and an elusive guy who kinda follows her around. Velvet has received quite a few comparisons to Twilight. Genre: Young-Adult, Fantasy, Paranormal Romance
