well, this book was amazing i did this book for a book report and half the class read it after me it was amazing!

i found this book very enticing, to say the least. a good read, cant wait for the second :)

This book started of a little slow then about 5 or 6 chapters in it really picked up and I basically read it in one night! I really like the mix of characters and the way they interact. I give it 5 stars.!

Okay but not great. It wasn't addictive, and felt sometimes like it was a copy off of other books. I won't be reading the second.

I LUVED THIS BOOK,enuf said

I want to recommend this book to Twilight fans. I mean, people who didn't like Twilight will definitely still like this book. But it does have a Twilight feel to it. Only Zara, the main character, narrates more like Suze Simon from Meg Cabot's The Mediator series. That's what I found, anyhow.

You have to read this book. I really liked it. What starts off as just your average novel about a family tragedy turns into something magical and romantic. Again, I hate when novels rush into the supernatural plot too quickly. This one didn't, yet kept me hooked from the very first page. Another thing that was neat about this book was every chapter was named for a phobia. And that phobia would somehow link to the events in that chapter, hinting at what was to come. If you're someone who likes useless trivia, the random phobias and their meanings might be of interest to you. I was able to get a really clear picture in my mind of all the characters. The writing style was fun and fresh and very real. The ending was just right so it wouldn't necessarily need a sequel. (Of course, there is a sequel, and I highly recommend you read Captivate once you've finished Need). This book is a winner!

i LOVED this book! i honestly could not put this book down!!! read it all within the first day i bought it and definitely plan on re-reading it after i hunt down the second book in this series ( "captivate" )

at first i thought it might be the same twilight type storyline but i was very happily surprised to find out that it wasn't and that it even had Stephan King references too :)

if you like twilight and werewolves then you will definitely enjoy it as much as i did

(no hot shiny vampires in this tho , sorry fanpires :P )

Oh tween books how you can suck me in. I’ve touched on this in previous reviews about how some teen/ya books can really suck and others… well… don’t. In the case of “Need” I thoroughly enjoyed and was even delighted to find it had a few Buffy moments. Of course, don’t think that this is a Buffy-esque book, because really, what can touch Buffy? It’s definitely more of a Melissa Marr “Wicked Lovely” type of book with a splash of “Twilight” by Stephanie Meyer. It could’ve been longer with some more development of characters and relationship, but still it was good.

What I liked about this book over some other Fae/pixie stories was the surprise defense element. Normally it is the same ole’ same ole’ when it comes to this genre, but Jones brought a little something else. Shifters. This angle was fresh and new and totally filled my wolf love quoto.

The relationship between Nick and Zara was so darn cute and romantic. It caused flashbacks of Buffy/Angel and that totally caused ‘squee’ moments. Zara friend Issie was adorable and completely lovable. In fact, all the characters were enjoyable, even the baddies. I just wish that there were more time to develop them all and their friendships. Wouldn’t complain if this became a series or trilogy as I feel there’s so much more to learn and explore in this verse.
