Just some early y2k spooky season YA. I enjoyed the characters but the ending was a bit anti-climatic.

The vampire, while still being sexy, at least to the 16 year-old main character, is still a vampire. He drinks human blood, kills when needed, lies to her left and right, but she still falls in love with him. Of course, she is a teenager and he does know how to manipulate her. I felt the vampire did care for her, but he never lost his "vampireness" if that makes sense.

My third re-read of this book in the last 7 years with me being 16 when I read it originally. Always going to be an all time favorite of mine as I love the vampires in this one and I've never read another story quite like it though I wish desperately that I could so that I didn't have to keep re-reading this one to feel how I felt reading it at 16.

Twilight has inspired me to look for more vampire books, but none can compare so far. Companions of the Night is an action-packed, melodramatic story, but the characters simply don't have the appeal (the "bite") of Bella and Edward. Readers who are looking for lots of action may like this one, but readers who prefer well-developed, compelling characters would do better with Stephenie Meyer's Twilight, [b:New Moon|49041|New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2)|Stephenie Meyer|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/414jgcy2FAL._SL75_.jpg|3203964], and Eclipse.

Loved the concept of this story, and while it definitely kept me hooked til the end, I felt it didn't go in the direction I had hoped.

OOF. I think I was going to rate this 4 stars until the MC professed her love for a character she’d known for less than 72 hours
