Sally appears to care a bit more for her younger bother when it suits her. Unlike Bella, Sally is a self centered person who appears to care little to nothing for her single parent mother who works hard to keep her and her brother in a relatively good and safe home environment. This book has a Twilight-esque storyline, in as much there is a schoolgirl with little sense, self preservation wise or otherwise, who becomes involved with a vampire 'family'.
Part of me thinks I want to finish it just to get my money out of it but the other part of me thinks I want to save the remaining brain cells. I bought this during a sale and boy do I feel stupid for going ahead and getting the next few novels just to save a little. The narration is fair at best and mediocre most of the time, but then, it fits the story just perfect.
She gets saved from being attacked and immediately gets in the car with a complete stranger who is 25 who focuses all his attention on her because "there's just something about her that's different from other girls." He does all these weird things and she just keeps going with the flow while having midless drivel float through her brain for us readers to see how truely clueless she is. Her only friend is a slut (no really, the girl does nothing but go out, get drunk, and have one-night stands), she hardly gives a thought to her mother who's apparently working 70 hours a week, and her brother is a shadow of a character. No plot, no endgame (at least where I'm at just before the start of Part 2), Alice is a shallow, self-absorbed, 17-year-old idiot who has clearly never heard the word vampire despite throwing up werewolf as an excuse for Jack's strange behavior. Simply put, this is Twilight watered down. I'd give it all 1 star if it weren't YA but even then I feel like teenagers are being cheated. I feel like a few brain cells died, flinging themselves over a cliff just to escape this horrid nonsense. My Blood Approves - But my Brain does not
