    Personal Responds: I gave this book four stars because it is a very good book and I want to read the rest of the six books in the series but it does not have a lot of action.

I can relate to the characters a lot and it is very nice to see that, besides protecting vampires and being vampires, they have a lot of the same problems in their life as any other high school student. I cannot wait to see where the other six

He brought his head up at the sound of the door opening and shutting. “Morning sweetheart,” he said teasingly as she approached him. “Good morning to you too handsome,” she giggled plopping down next to him.

    My Black Swan Analysis The magnificent "obsession" can be one of two things. It can be a thing of beauty, a gifted ballet dancer gracefully contorting their body to a harmonious pace. But it can also be a thing of darkness, a face of white like Bergman's vision of Death with red, piercing eyes included. Director Darren Aronofsky is no stranger to telling tales of obsession. In fact, most of his films deal with the dueling sides of that fiery driven coin. With Black Swan, his latest film
