Normally I don't read paranormal books. The only exception is RL Mathewson's Pyte/Sentinel series and that was solely because I liked the author. With that being said I was more than pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. Somehow although the book was about a vampire it didn't seem too paranormal for someone like me. (If that makes any sense)The story centers around maid of honor Alice who's not looking forward to her sisters cruise ship wedding since her cheating ex, also the grooms brother, will be in attendance. She wants to show she's over him but doesn't have a date in sight.Then there's Noah, her neighbor, that she's had a crush on forever, who needs to get out of town quick. A cruise sounds like the perfect escape, but could two people who hardly know one another survive a week in close quarters?I really enjoyed the authors writing style and her sense of humor. I like how even though the story had a paranormal aspect it wasn't the cliched one that's been overdone. She did her own way and to me made the focus more about the characters learning about themselves and each other and the relationships between them. She also left it open to become a series. I'd love to read about Alice's brother Andrew. I'm definitely glad I ignored my usual book prejudices and read this.I received an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.
