I needed a new vampire novel to sink my teeth into and this was a pretty good one.I loved the setting if Crete - the beaches and the partying. I did become a little exhausted with the alcohol consumption though. With the characters working at a bar, you'd think they'd get tired of drinking. That's literally all it seemed they did. Drink, party, lay out on the beach, and then hang out with the vampires. Ha. When I put it that way, it actually sounds pretty nice, right?This isn't your usual vampire novel. Yes, they drink blood. Yes, they're insanely attractive. They're mysterious and dangerous. They have a secretive side. The cool thing-they can walk in another realm where the dead souls are. They don't do it often but it does come in handy a time or two.I liked Nicole's character but I have to admit that Marshall and a few others seemed a little flat. Anna was by far my favorite character. Their characters didn't seem to have much... Much dimension or attitude. They just seemed like they were on "cool" constantly. Even despite that, I liked them. It sort of worked for them but I would've loved to have seen more spunk or life (yea, they're vampires but you know what I mean) from them.The events leading up to the ending made me all teary eyed but I did like the ending. It took me completely by surprise. I mean, I had some series gasping moments there in the last handful of chapters.The mystery aspect was a great distraction that I liked as well. It was kind of a like a side story that went along with the main one. I was constantly thinking about "who, what, why..." in the back of my mind.Overall, it was a good read & if you're in need of a new vampire novel, definitely grab this one.Overall Rating: 4 Stars
