A fun read. I have to admit with one of the reviews that the characters seem like caricature of different ethnicity (especially since some of these folks have been vampires for hundreds of years so it seems like they would lose some of their ethnic ways) but I still find it worthwhile.

I like that Cat is so immature in this book and you get to slowly watch her expand her view. Steamy sex scenes will do that to a person. At first I was annoyed with how prejudice she was but then her mother has been telling her there was something wrong and evil with her all her life for being an half vampire so I guess it makes sense. I'm surprised she is so well adjusted and not a serial killer. Oh, wait. She is a serial killer.

Things I have a hard time with is how Cat reacts to the deaths of her love ones. She seemed to move on rather quickly.

I love the rude banter between the characters. I know some people would be depressed by the ending but keep in mind that this is a series, so good things will happen later. I also enjoyed the search for Hennessey (the bad vampire in here). Overall, she created a really cool world and I look forward to read more.
