Great annotation, I've never heard of this one before. Is it part of a series? Full points!
ReplyDeleteThe series is called Farm. There is a prequel also.
ReplyDeleteTeen fiction is always full of excitement, adventure told from a different perspective. I am not one for vampire stories, but the idea of twin sisters experiencing and conquering a threat is very appealing.
ReplyDeleteMel has autism and with chapters in first person you get to read her thoughts.
