Review: Wasn't to my taste - not saying it's a bad book though!

This book just wasn't to my taste to be honest. I've never written a "negative" review before, so I don't want this to come across in a bad way, I'm not in the habit of slating authors and their work and neither am I saying that this is a bad book. It just wasn't "for me". At first I had really high hopes, the mention of a blood letting ceremony grasped my immediate attention but as the story went on I just felt less interested. The idea of snake-vampires just didn't do it for me. I just couldn't get my head around the main character's thought process in the early stages of the book, she was terrified and being slashed and gashed all over, then the next moment she wanted the guy to love her, and whilst being attacked/abused she talks of their love-making... Whilst you're out of your nind with fear and pain? It just seemed to contradict itself, for me. I've experienced similar abuse, being cut, and the last thing on my mind at the time was about the love-making. I'm really sorry, it just wasn't my type of story. Probably because of my own experiences. That's not to say that others won't enjoy it, though.
