Review: Author should keep trying....will get there eventually

Another book where the author has a decent plot and a different take on the whole "vampire" theme, but since I am not educated in writing skills..I don't know how to express what it is exactly that this author is lacking. The only thing I can come up with is it seemed the author lacked maturity and experience. I wish the authors would allow their characters to develop relationships between the hero and heroine a little bit more.....I mean these vampire heroes are hundreds of years old. I think they could wait a few more days before they fall deeply in love.....but that heroine is just so beautiful and sexy. (sarcasm) I really tried to stick with this book but about half way through started skimming through trying to get a general idea of what happened. And sadly after I read the end I really didn't care...There were some decent moments here and there...and that's why I didn't give it one star. I see a little glimmer of some good writing but I think the author needs to work on it some more.Two aspects of the book that I didn't really get or agree with...1)the heroine is going to commit suicide because of her intense depression from losing her child (which I never found out how the child died. But I did start skimming half way through.) and her husband. She chooses to jump from a bridge into a river. Oh..you find out later that she is deathly afraid of water. If you were really serious about killing yourself, why would you choose a way that you're so afraid of? Seems like the fear of the water would keep you from jumping. 2)at one point the hero is about to give in to the darkness/hunger and devour the heroine. He is warning her to get away...aware that he will probably kill her. Oh no...the heroine is so "brave" that she is begging him to feed from her. Really? not believable.p.s. this is the second ebook of the vampire variety and it will be my last. I'm really starting to get turned off from these ebooks for free. if they are being put out there to get feed back...then let's add a disclaimer or something. but so many of them have these glowing 5 star reviews that act like they are the best book ever written. it's more like .... the first book ever written by this author!
