I like a book where you can get a bit of story, and it's not all smut. This story was the perfect length, and in my opinion, a bit longer then a lot of short stories/ Novella/ smuts. And a big chunk of the second book is also included, where it picks up where this book left off.But let me be honest. After finishing this book, I really had no interest in the second story. I thumbed through it, skipping paragraphs. and even doing that I didn't miss much of the story. But lets face it. The first book was enough, and the second was a bit of overkill.Yeah, there were quite a few grammar issues throughout the book, but not so bad that you couldn't overlook it. So I'm not going to focus on that.This story did have quite a bit of character development, regardless of what a lot of people are saying. There was so much development, in my opinion, that I actually got bored with the story at one point, and had to put it down, and came back to it a couple of days later. And no, the story was not rushed in the slightest. I could totally tell that this writer was taking her sweet time getting to the meat of it.Generally, the story was very good, but the pitch was not my cup of tea. Some areas seemed juvenile, but at least the characters were pretty consistent.As for the action a lot of people were expecting, there was not a lot to talk about. A bit of dramatic dialog in the beginning, to kick the story into gear. The final attack was a bit lengthy, but only because they spent so much time running from the bad guy. But once said bad guy finds them, it's over in a shot, and they all lived happily ever after. (In bed)I am going to be brutally honest here, and say that most vampire stories are basically the same, and if you have read one, you have read them all. It is going to take one heck of a good writer, with a deep imagination to take vampirism to another level. So in the end, it was exactly what I thought it would be.For a free book, it's worth the read. But don't expect a lot.
