A fun book, but it didn't blow my hair back. The twist on vampirism is pretty good, and welcome in a time of sexy, lovable vampires, and it has a great opening hook. Unfortunately there are some problems that kind of make it difficult to get excited about. This one is somewhere between two and three stars for me. Ultimately, the main characters are kind of forgettable, so that's why I settled on two stars.
