it's difficult to find a paranormal/sci fi/fantasy book these days that catches me by surprise. the premise of shadow society is quite the novelty, interesting and fun, even though the first act is pretty cliché (new boy in high school fascinated with the main female character, instant attraction, etc. even though later on we find out /why/ this is). the constant knowledge that both of the characters feel betrayed by the other and can't fully trust each other brought so many memories of the winner's trilogy *sobs*
summing up: fun, quick read :)
