Review: Could have been so much better!

The premise was good, although the choice of wording of 'vampeen' to describe a vampire/human hybrid could have been better.I liked the beginning, but it just go so ridiculous that it was laughable.I read one review where the reviewer said that the book was the author wish fulfillment. Which I could very well see. Fat girl with no friends and who isn't popular suddenly becomes over night, drop dead gorgeous and has an amazing guy on her arm.So much of the authors lore was so confusing and muddled. Especially trying to describe the transformation. And the fact that Kellan and Lexi's love was forever and just...ugh. It was so nauseating. Although I did like Kellen, my favorite character would have to be Kellans father and the stylist Ryan.Such a ridiculous book, can't believe there are more books in the series. The whole vampire, vampeen hatred for each other made little sense.There could have been an epic battle scene with the vampire chick, but that sub-plot was so downplayed!I did enjoy Mike's reaction though as the crazy over protective boyfriend, it was a bit laughable because it kinda came out of no where.Lexi's insecurities about how she was fat I found to be really annoying.This was like some fanfiction with a Mary and Gary Stu. Could have been so much better if Lexi has some flaws besides feeling insecure about her looks. The fact that she had name brand everything, and her parents were rich were unbelievable. She wasn't spoiled or snooty or anything.It was far to much like Twilight. I was especially surprised at the sudden mention of God at the end. It was very out of left field, why put religion into it, when it had nothing to do with it in the first place.The characters were not very flushed out and I think with more work it could have be so much better.
