Feel how your nowhere got the good girl, is excited by the weapon, Marc contributes his ankle, and developed a secret relationship with him, go against their parents want.  He not only promises her above is your parents to protect, but also much more to do if you between him and Ames. The question is, will Ames follow him in the dark? In dark song, Giles offers a chilling portrait predator and prey. Ames is vulnerable one fifteen - years has old whose life that just the carpet had pulled beneath their feet. You have lied their parents, people who are most familiar.

Giles does a good job in the construction of the peak of the family problems in part one of little tell-tale notes: the father's home in the middle of the day; the extra glass of wine for dinner; the redness of the eyes of others; Rumors in school until finally it explodes in Ames face into your life's own little bubble of privilege until the very last moment.

The ending was a little too abruptly be satisfactory, but this is a book that can (and will) to read in a session, it is such a page Turner. Although the cover commemorates the twilight novels with a dripping rose on the cover (or at least I think that is what the cover will look, how - Las I one AES), there is no supernatural villains in this book. Instead, Giles compels us, confront a too human horror of kind of: the need for power and the need for security at any price. Links: Digg this del.icio.us Technorati reddit
