BOOK REVIEW: Evernight by Claudia Gray

So I'm reading Claudia Gray's Evernight, which I've had for a while, but never stopped to read. It starts out as a fairly well-written, YA vampire novel. Y'know, YA vampire novels often start out with the premise that nobody expects vampires, but honestly, that does not spoil anything, right? Like, you're not going to pick this book up and not know there are vampires in it. In a boarding school called Evernight. And by reading those last two sentences, you are probably already expecting everything that I expected as I read. And while it is well-written, I was kind of like, Yeah, yeah, okay. Let's get to the "surprising" discoveries already! And then I reached the almost half-way mark of the book. And then things got awesome. Let it be known that I am pleased with this book, and am perhaps going to buy the following two books as soon as my budget allows! (Isn't it weird how every book turns out to be a trilogy nowadays? Oh, publishing, I do not understand you, but like all good consumers, I won't complain too much as long as you keep supplying when I demand.)
