I think if I hadn't been reading so many other AWESOME paranormal/vampire authors, I probably would have liked this book. Instead I was bored, skimmed more than half of it, nearly putting it down. I was curious enough to finish it, wanting to know how things were resolved, but I just couldn't get into this book.

I have read the first two books in the series - the first I LOVED, the second was more "meh", but I've noticed sophomore efforts are often weak links, and continued to this one.

In retrospect, I think part of the issue is that if you read a lot of vampire romance, as I do, you accept the notion of vampires being "real" (in literature). So to have the only conflict in the story being vampirism itself, and the vampire not even having an internal struggle (a dark side) or even vamprisim being particularly bad or evil, there is not enough basic conflict to carry the story.

Might be done with Lynsay Sands for a while.
