I get so sick of people comparing every YA novel against Twilight.  Enough already!  The only thing this has in common with Twilight is the fascination between a boy and a girl.  Well in Twilight it’s a vampire and a girl but whatever. 

Getting that out of the way I’ll continue.  I don’t see a problem with there being a lot of dialogue in a book, though it’s a book not a movie so less dialogue means more.  I don’t particularly like the fact that a teenage girl is trying so hard to get some from her boyfriend when in reality it’s usually the other way around.  It seems unrealistic in a sense but if she wasn’t so bent on getting down his pants we would never learn exactly how ‘against’ having sex he really is. 

I love the way this story was written regardless.  I love how attracted to Jason Azazel seems to be and I love the fact there are no vampire/werewolves/or other freaks of nature in this story.  Though the whole satanist thing is kind of freaky in itself so I guess they might as well be a pack of flesh-eating werewolves.

V.J. to me has stepped outside of the box and given readers something they can get addicted to . . . .something that’s a heck of a lot better than the Edward/Jacob mobs that you seem to run into everywhere.  And by the way I am somewhat a Twilight fan myself.  I don’t particularly like Stephanie Meyer’s writing but she does have creativity.  The same can be said for V.J.  She’s an awesome writer who has gotten tons of recognition from her adoring fans on Facebook.  She’s a fresh face if you ask me and I don’t know a single person who wouldn’t vote this above Twilight.  Then again I’m not friends with a bunch of people who have plastered Edward’s face onto the body of their pillow. 

Breathless is just the beginning to a series, one that I can’t wait to read the ending of.  It is one of the better YA novels I’ve read.
