Before you read- this is, yes a vampire and human romance novel but it is different from Twilight. The characters have different personalities, and the events are very different. So please dont relate it to Twilight... Twilight doesn't have a crazy old lady telling telling them to used protection lol


Back Of Book:

Nick Vohnswell is a vampire, that’s obvious now. I don’t deny that I am truly terrified but somewhere inside say’s I’m not. I should stay away from him, I know that for a fact, but I can’t. Even though he can kill me at any moment, I still hang around him. Neither of us knows why he is protective over me, an average human girl. I know his secret that he drinks blood, now I wonder what fate has in store for me, Natasha Fredricks.

please give me feedback... i really want to know if its a good idea... tho i have already hand written 137 pages smile

Well, in my honest opinion, what I've read thus far which is obviously not much.... it sounds exactly like Twilight, just different names.

I know that's not what you want to hear, but its the god-honest truth.

I would have to guess that, yes, it m not BE Twilight, but did you get the book idea from Twilight?

If you did, don't worry. You're just going to have to do a lot of work in the writing to convince those out there that would read your book that it's not a Twilight ripoff.

I've done the same thing myself concerning the Malazan: Book of the Fallen series. Although that series can be rather confusing, it is a good read.... and a couple ideas sprouted out from the book's story.

I had to throw the project out though because it just seemed too similar and whatever part was not similar to the books, I had difficulty writing.

I apologize for the Twilight relation, but it just can't be overlooked. Perhaps you should give us more to read to convince us?

their r alot of vampire and human romance novels out there, like the Vampire Kisses series (which is amazing also) so overall the plot is the same but so r many other already-published books out there, and trust me on this much the ending is very different than Twilights ending....
-thanks for ur thoughts and advise I really do appreciate it!

You're welcome. biggrin And like I said, giving us a bit more to read, unless you don't want to, may help us see the originality in your book.

Hmmm. A minor suggestion from me. Make the book's title a shorter. So many novels nowadays have no more than seven words in their title.

I have to agree with Trisemigistus, it really sounds a lot like Twilight. I really hope you have a different ending because I found the ending of the Twilight series to be kind of disappointing.
