Summary:

I see you’ve chosen this. Interesting. It must mean that you have good taste. This is my story of how I, a teenage girl of almost total normalcy, became a monster, a beast, a creature of the dark. There are many places to start. I could begin at my birth and continue on based upon a collection of childhood stories of me doing cute things told by my parents, but that’s not how you start a story like this. You start with the end, or maybe the near-end. Once you've entered my world, there is no going back. You've been warned, so enjoy the ride as best you can.

Ernest Hemingway: If it's bad, I'll hate it. If it's good, then I'll be envious and hate it even more. You don't want the opinion of another writer. 

I loooove this story! I want more! I would suggest though to separate dialogue and paragraphs, but you seemed to do it more towards the end. Nice job! 5/5

The dialogue is very realistic, but in the beginning, they should have been separated into paragraphs. I do like what you have so far, and I'd love it more if you expanded on the chapters a bit more. The idea is very cool and I'd love to read more :)

Thanks!  There does seem to be a surplus of vampire books ever since Twilight became popular.

I admit, I haven't finished it yet, but it's nice to see something so well written not entirely focused on "vampire romance".

This is a good start.  The only criticism I have is to put dialogue on a line separate from your paragraphs more often.  It just makes it easier to read.

You're doing a GREAT job! I can tell you're going to get better and better, and this story will be polished and sanded down until it is PERFECT!

I know... :-/  I had the story just collecting dust on my computer, so I decided to post it, imperfections and all, just to see what kind of feedback it would get.  So far, pretty positive.  I appriciate your input!  :)
