Okay, so this was sooo campy. If you want a cheesy 2000s YA novel this book is for you. I was laughing out loud at scenes that definitely weren’t suppose to be funny. I wanted to hate this but I just couldn’t. If I was a preteen this would have definitely been a book I’d have picked up again and again for nostalgia. 

I think a certain type of reader would absolutely hate this book but if you love a paranormal cheesy YA novel you will absolutely enjoy this journey. 

Just in case you still don’t know the vibe this book gives I would call it an Alien Twilight with a boy next door/enemies to lovers twist.
