Review: Not quite 3-1/2 stars for me.

Unlike the high reviews so far on this one, I find myself torn between "It's OK"  and "I liked it".Considering the short length of this prequel novella, the author did exhibit a very nice flair for world-building.  I like the premise and the vast possibilities that the plot hints at.  This has the potential to be a really good series.BUT, for me, the major characters (at least so far) are not appealing enough.  The Heroine, Wraith, has the potential to be SO unique.  Unfortunately, I'm just not feelin' her or her male Vampire friend.  I actually found myself more interested in the two minor human characters that were introduced in the first part of the story.  The writing style seemed to lack cohesion.  I did like where the book seemed to be heading at the beginning, but it just didn't seem to arrive there.Sure, I realize that it's just a teaser meant to introduce the reader to the series.  And I did look up Book One, as I was intriqued enough to continue reading.  However, I'm not sure that I'll buy it at the current $7.59 asking price; for that price, this prequel should have worked harder to 'Wow' me.
