I love this book!  It makes me laugh, that the author could interrupt serious Vampyre  stuff with concerns about great shoes and designer outfits.  I like it also as a kind of allegory, because people are not just one thing, but a little bit demon, angel, fairy, vamp(yre) and who knows what all.  And who doesn't want to be "Chosen"?  So it's a huge life adjustment and part of maturing, to cope with being Chosen in God, and finding your calling in life.  it works for me, language included, even though I am one of those boring proper types.  At the end I thought maybe all this angst was just a big family squabble (what a family!!), but the next book cleared up that little thing for me in a big way.  I ended up liking all the characters except the Rogue Vampyres, and Astrid's daddy.I do not believe this book should be bowdlerized or gutted of the sex scenes - I am perfectly capable of self-editing.  I focus on the last line of the page and flip pages until they've stopped panting and clutching, or till the end of the chapter, whichever comes first.  It is part of the story and I respect it.  I also recommended it to a cousin who posts items on Facebook from "classy ladies who say f@#$ a lot".
