Review: Heroine was very unlikeable.
Rating: 2 out of 5

Evangeline Anderson's books are rather hit-and-miss for me, but there are a few of her books that I love because I can read them multiple times and find just as much enjoyment the fifth time as the first. That is not the case with this book. I had an extremely hard time getting through this book once let alone many times and after is was over (thank goodness, finally!) I archived it on my Kindle because there is absolutely no way I am ever reading it again!First of all the heroine, Addison, may have had a legitimate reason to have some preconceived notions about vampires considering what happened to her friend and her current line of work, however, her unwillingness to re-evaluate her prejudices when Corbin is behaving totally contrary to those prejudices, was extremely annoying because it made her seem so immature and stubborn. But the thing about this character that actually made me yell "What the hell are you doing?" out loud (and if I was reading this in paperback and not on my Kindle I would have thrown the book across the room) was the fact that she could not keep her mouth shut!Okay, I like a strong heroine with moxy and sass but if someone says to you (and I am paraphrasing here) "We have to really impress this person, this person has the power of life and death over me, you and your friend so no matter what you think of him keep your mouth shut no matter what happens and what he says" and you still open your mouth and insult this person that is not sassy, that is stupid!!!The older a vampire is the stronger he/she is. This Roderick guy you are supposed to impress is 600 years old, your guy is 400. You are surrounded by beings who can rip you apart in a second and all you have is the guy who seems to like you but you've been really nasty to and a Glock and you still feel bold enough to open your mouth and insult people? Just stupid and annoying. Makes me shake my head in disbelief just remembering it.I had to skip big parts to get through the book. Really disappointing.
