If you don’t like profanity this book isn’t for you. With that out of the way I’ll begin…Astrid wants to quit smoking and start picking her life up. She has big plans for herself, but just tackling the first item on her list is a major problem. She has tried everything, so hypnotherapy doesn’t sound so insane. Hey, if it works, why not? Who would have thought it would come with its own set of issues…This book has a fun and unique spin on vampyres, and while it is questionable about whether Astrid should be able to talk if she can’t breathe, the little things are completely blown away but the sheer brilliance of the rest of the book. The plot line is pretty solid with lots of twists, comedy, and romantic settings. The characters were another true work of art with individual personalities brought to life, and descriptive scenes that will turn your room into the back waters of Kentucky.Astrid is not your average hero with a hot temper and tender heart. She was careful to pick her battles and navigate this new world she was suddenly thrust into. She might not be the most graceful vampyre on the planet, but when she is determined to do something, she does it! Ethan is tall, dark, and so sexy. He had me swooning as soon as he entered the picture. Fiercely protective, sweet, and sporting a wicked smile what more can you want in a man? Gemma and Venus were fantastic best friends to our heroine who lit up the pages with love and support. Honestly I could go on for hours about all the cast and how I loved pretty much each and every one of them- my favorite being Pam, the profane Guardian Angel.I knew from the very first page I would be dealing with a major book hang-over. The romance was slow to get to but all consuming when it happened- making for some very steamy scenes. And if I had to count how many times I fell over laughing, I would be screwed. It was hysterical! Though nearing the end I felt the comedy relief was obvious and a bit over played. The action and suspense had me at the edge of my seat (probably how I fell over to begin with) and so eager for more. I couldn’t put it down if I had to, and I eagerly await the next book in this amazing series!I highly recommend this book!
