Mia is just what it claims to be, a vampire erotica. Mia is a strong willed protagonist who is easy to like. Lucas is every bit as powerful and sexy as you would want him to be. The uncharacteristic vulnerableness he shows Mia endears him to the reader. There is no lack of steamy sex between them. The bad guy, Blair, is truly evil and this is made abundantly clear by his cruel domination of the women around him. When he was around the book often read like a cautionary tale of sadism and misogyny. I didn't care for this, but that is more of a personal preference than an indictment of the book.My only real complaints are the frequent tense changes and that Mia and Lucas have an instant, almost visceral reaction to each-other that sets in motion the events of the book. But you never really find out why. Similarly Mia has a fairly drastic change of opinion at the end of the story with no identifiable instigator. Despite this I would still suggest giving it a read.
