This story can’t be any further than the sparkling stories of Stephenie Meyer. Imagine the Cullens armed to the teeth with guns and other weapons and you will get the Drakes.

Well, how about me morphing into some vampire-obsessed teenager? It scares me how much I’m starting to like all these stories of fifteen-year old girls running around chasing after vampire boyfriends, and My Love Lies Bleeding doesn’t make it easy for me to stay cynical. After one too many listens of soundtracks of emo people, I figured that I wouldn’t contract a terrible disease or anything like that if I gave this book a try. However, the title is intriguing, and I kept thinking about how much I like the poetry of it.

From the cringe-inducing synopsis at the back cover that reeks of Mary Sue gone wild to the shameless blurb assuring me that any fan of Stephenie Meyer’s books will love this one, this one scared me so much that I was afraid to even look at it at first. I don’t know about the American version, but the packaging of the UK edition is geared towards attracting fans of Stephenie Meyer‘s Twilight saga.
