Under My Skin (Skinned #1)

I honestly sort of forgot about this book, I think I read it at the beginning of January and never really took the time to write or even thing about it. What does that tell you about the book? A bit boring actually. To much cheesy romance, predictable plot lines, and over done vampires, werwolves and other mythical creatures. Just the main characters name is pretentious. Eryn, with a y?! No offense to real life Eryns, but really? Trying to make the characters seem more mystic by adding "Ys" where they don't belong is so aggravating.
Now the story, Eryn lost both of her parents a few months ago under unusual circumstances. Her mother was a hybrid wolf and her father was a mystical hunter. After their deaths, the council sent her to live in a small town with her grandfather, only the small town is full of mystical beings. Even without realizing it Eryn is drawn to the goth girl and her egocentric, "weirdo" crowd. Turns out they are fairies, hunters, witches and wolves. But the real problem in town, the vampires. And unluckily for Eryn, the leader's son is obsessed with her. Two sides of the paranormal are tearing the town apart, and Eryn is stuck in the middle. What side will she choose, especially since both sides are keeping secrets and nothing is as black and white as Eryn first thought it was.
If you like books like Twilight, Immortals, or any of the paranormal romances that have gained popularity the last few years then you will like this. But for me, I prefer a little more action and paranormal rather than the romance.
