Here it is. Girl meets boy.  Girl is interested.  Boy is Vampire.  Girl is someone else and doesn't remember.  Boy tries to protect girl.  Girls best friend is a witch.  Everyone literally goes to Hell.Now full disclosure I am not the normal demographic for these books.  As an older (read senior) male I try some of these from time to time as I always enjoyed reading in the fantasy genre.  However these days that mostly seems to have moved to paranormal.  I have found some I really liked by authors such as Rose Pressy and Elizabeth Reeves.  To be fair what is there is not badly written though the plot line is a bit threadbare and the main character seems unfazed by some pretty significant revelations.My problem with this book is that it was just to short to really set up a cliff hanger.  It was more of a novella than a novel and not enough background was established for you to really bond with the characters.  As a result when this first book came to an abrupt end I found my self saying. "Meh... I really don't have enough vested in these characters to care about what happens in future books".Now I know this method of writing is becoming popular with authors and they basically write a novel in installments.  I feel like in this case that is what is being done.  If I read all the segments it would probably make a decent novel. I also realize that if an author can hook you into this they will do better monetarily.  Just on this one I am not going to bite.
