I am certainly way past 15 but downloaded this anyway as it sounded interesting, was free and, besides, I was waiting for a new Amazon card for Christmas so I could download what I have really been wanting to read.  It turned out this was much more than a time filler.  I enjoyed it and found the plot and character development well done.  I thought the main character was interesting and I found all the historical references added a great deal to the story.  I agree with the author that in the time of the main characters youth, she indeed was probably like most other young ladies of the time and believed a woman's success was directly related to the marriage she could contract as well as her ability to produce offspring.  Very interesting twist on fish out of water type situation.  I am not sure Lucy is in anyway a modern woman, however she is certainly a survivor.  This author keeps you interested with changes in time periods that were smooth along with some pretty smooth pursuers.  I spent a couple of hours reading it and consider it time well spent.  As a vampire story, there is gruesome, graphic violence that might be disturbing for some.  Also, some sex scenes may be more for a slightly older reader.  Otherwise, I recommend it as an enjoyable read although I do not know whether I will continue with the series.
