Darkness has fallen is a book written by Samantha Cook about a boy named Ethan who´s life couldn´t be better. He is a star athlete at his school and had received a scholarship to the University of Oklahoma. Ethan is thrown into a new life when he is turned into a blood-sucking vampire. Now he has to start a new life where enemies are patiently waiting to attack at any time. When I started reading the book I was a little confused, but as I read more I noticed that the book was written through the point of view of a guy. I was a little uncomfortable at first since I had never read a book with a guys point of view, it was usually a woman´s point of view. By the time I was about ¼ through the book, I started to like the way it was setup, having to read it through a guy´s perspective was a lot different than through a woman´s eyes, I really liked the change of perspectives because you don't get to experience what the book would be look if it were through another characters eyes. I like how it had a lot of adventure, it made my skin crawl whenever Ethan and Aiden almost get caught or when Ethan gets the chance to see Tabitha it makes me remember the times they spent together at the beginning of the story. It's the kind of book that makes me want to read it all the time and when I'm finished it to re-read it again. There were some parts where I had to re-read a paragraph because I didn´t understand it the first time, but overall I do recommend this book to people who are into romance and adventure.
