Review: Cliche, but a fun, fast read

I got this for free for my Kindle. I read through it yesterday. It was a quick read, full of action, angst, lore and lust.The author has created a new vampire-esque mythos. The voice is young and fresh, but the story is not. Part Buffy, part Twilight, part Charmed. As a YA, it is more sexually explicit than I would recommend for my students or daughters, but it is too YA to bridge between YA and general market romance. My impression is that the author was not satisfied with the sexual content in Twilight, but liked the love triangle dynamic and decided to write it her way.The title might make sense for those familiar with the whole series plot line, but I found it misleading - though I may have skimmed the part where that was explained. I will not be reading the rest of the series.Generally I am not moved to leave a review if my impression was dominantly negative, but I downloaded this based on it's high reviews and thought I owed it to other readers to be honest.
