This was a re-read for me! My first time reading it, I was in high school at the peak of my Twilight phase, and I gave it 5 stars. I was worried that it wouldn't hold up now that I'm 27 (and somehow still at the peak of my Twilight phase); but it absolutely did! I'm honestly surprised that this series isn't still talked about more. The writing is beautiful and really transports you to the enchanting woods of Mercy Falls. (Most) of the characters are impossible not to love (they could never make me like you @ Shelby). And the story... the story has me so scared because this book was perfect, and I never finished the series, so what do you mean there's MORE?!? 😅 I feel like I also have to mention that some of the things in this book blew my mind due to it being a YA with no TW's (2009 was a different time) 😅 but this is one of the books that made me who I am. It helped shape my interests as a reader and fall more in love with reading. Forever grateful, and if you haven't read it- I highly recommend! ♡
