When she was a little girl, Jane nearly died. Ever since then she doesn't remember what happened to her prior to waking up in the hospital. She’s been an orphan ever since that day, and she’s trying to fix her life by attending a boarding school on a scholarship. What she doesn't expect is that going from the streets to a nice and comfortable life won’t be as easy as she initially thought.
Jane gets a scholarship to a boarding school for girls. She is quickly introduced to a life she’s never had, one full of riches and fantasies. School is going well, she has a great friend group, and she falls for the principal’s son who she’s tutoring. She discovers soon that something’s off about the town; a woman committed suicide last year and the previous scholarship student mysteriously moved away with her uncle. She slowly discovers that this great new life of hers isn't what it seems.
I loved the characters. I became irritated with some of the choices made by the main character, Jane, but this made her more realistic. Also, I adored Jack, one of the love interests. He’s an extremely lovable, funny, and sweet character from the first time he appears, when he almost runs over Jane with his bike, to the end of the story. The plot was very interesting and intriguing. Discovering the town’s secrets was extremely enjoyable and some of the surprises behind the deaths of certain characters shocked me.
Dark Companion was a great novel with very lovable characters. It is somewhat a generic paranormal romance, and if you aren't into this genre I don't recommend this. However, if paranormal romance is your thing, I highly recommend this because the love interests are great characters and the plot turns are extremely shocking at times. If you are a fan of The House of Night series and The Vampire Diaries this book is definitely for you.
