• The general message of the book is that werewolves and humans cannot have stable romantic relationships because humans cannot love all of what a werewolf is; as a result, Vivian chooses her own kind by becoming Gabriel's wife. The movie states the exact opposite, as Vivian kills Gabriel and chooses Aiden over her pack.
• In the book, all characters are American and the story takes place in Maryland. In the film it takes place in Romania and some characters have English, French or Romanian accents. Vivian and Aiden are the only characters with American accents.
• In the novel, none of the wolves' eyes change to gold when they smell the scent of blood.
• Vivian's mother Esme is alive and her father dies in the novel; in the film both her parents are dead. In the book Vivian is an only child, but in the film it is shown that she had siblings, who were killed along with her parents.
• In the film Vivian blames herself for her family's death; she explains to Aiden that her paw prints were found by the enemy, leading them to her family. In the book, only her father dies and it was caused, albeit indirectly, by the Five.
