And while the romance took a back- seat in this one, it pleased me, too (and I'm not much of a romance fan!). Brilliant review! This was also educational for me and many readers, which I really liked. :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-67957489343554987602012-10-22T05:08:06.551+01:002012-10-22T05:08:06.551+01:00@Winterhaven-It did leave my spine tingling after ...@Winterhaven-It did leave my spine tingling after reading! Some truly scary parts!<br /><br />@Eunice-These aren't your average sparkly, model quality vamps. These are the scary, run for your life type if that helps at all. <br /><br />@Maja-I think you would love this story. Plus, you can look at it as an educational experience. One that scares the crap out of you! ;)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682335183798720529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-45288211496053663822012-10-22T05:04:22.446+01:002012-10-22T05:04:22.446+01:00Yes she was, Sam!

I got rejected on NetGalley, I think for living in the UK... That sucks, but I'm so glad you enjoyed this one Rachel. <br /><br />The quote sounds awesome. A really brilliant quote to pick. You have such a canny ability to pick ones that make me want to read a book. <br /><br />Lovely review!

The Amish aren't really.. something for me, but I'm looking forward to find out more about their way of living.

I'm not a huge fan of Amish culture, but I respect it and am so curious to see how it's portrayed and handled in this story, especially with the zombies thrown in! I also have to admit, that tiny line of romance made me swoon! ;) Wonderful review, Rachel! I clearly need to read this one soon!

Though I didn't expect this would be a horror kind of book! Fun surprises. If only I wasn't a big coward hahaha. And for some reason, I've been reading books with light romance more and more recently and I found those books extremely pleasant. Just goes to show there is a right amount of everything :D<br /><br />Great review, Rachel :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-9609869505648685072012-10-21T00:49:59.441+01:002012-10-21T00:49:59.441+01:00I am kicking myself for not getting this.

But the combination of different genres sound too good to resist! Since you loved it so much, I think I'll have to check it out for sure :) I love that the character was totally relatable, that's my favorite thing about a book, usually. Light romance! I'm not sure that'll be enough for me, but it should suffice in the end. Brilliant review, Rachel! So glad you enjoyed this one a whole lot. :)Jen (Books and Other Happy Ever Afters)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13191886477394054542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-84896219750750355882012-10-20T21:57:12.151+01:002012-10-20T21:57:12.151+01:00Yay!

No, scratch that, NOTHING at all is closer to the truth. But this book, with its very creepy moments, a satisfying romance and that educational side seems like a right place to start learning something new. I can hardly continue living in ignorance, it's just not me. :)<br />Wonderful review, Rachel!Maja (The Nocturnal Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276646316400863181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1019785638850450889.post-27012134717185202752012-10-20T16:25:45.541+01:002012-10-20T16:25:45.541+01:00Lovely review, Rachel!

I'm not much into vampire novels but I can feel that I would totally enjoy it. Plus scary and gruesome? That spells a must read for me.
