I did enjoy this book, but I have read much better vampire novels. I bought it because of the rave reviews on here (and I am not quite sure what you all are raving about honestly but to each their own) and I didn't hate the book, I just didn't love it either. There were many parts that were pretty unbelievable. The whole ending sequence in fact.Needless to say, the conclusion just didn't add up for me. I did enjoy the book on the level that I wanted to see what happened next, but when it did happen, I didn't understand why the author went in that direction.I also would have liked some more romance throughout the book. I felt that the main character was kind of cold. She was very flippant about her boyfriend and what happened at the end was just so detached. Doesn't display any depth of feeling whatsoever. The mooning over Mr. Impossibly Handsome was just lust, and the other male character she might form an attachment too she didn't really give the time of day. Overall, the romance was less than steamy and a bit of a let down. The idea was there, but not developed very well. I say if you are going to introduce it, do it right!The price was right on the book though so I can't complain that I spent a lot of money on it and I hope this author continues to write books and be inspired. I just hope he thinks out the sequence of events a little better and makes the characters' actions more believable to the audience. Add some passion and emotional attachments to the characters' lives and he could have a winning series on his hands, but this book is not quite there.
