Helpful Score: 2

Generally I'm not a huge fan of paranormal romances, or vampire books. I try a lot out only to find myself stopping halfway thru either annoyed at the female lead being either too helpless or too grating and/or the male paranormal love interest being way too perfect and unrelateable.

This book I read in one sitting from cover to cover and totally enjoyed it.

I know a lot of reviews don't know what to make of this book, and I can see why, most are from dedicated paranomal romance readers, and while there is romance and sex, it's not really the focus of the story like most would be expecting from the genre.

In fact it's not really even integral to the plot that the love interest is a vampire. He could just as easily have been a human dude stuck in the same situation, it just kind of added a new wrinkle to the story but at the same time made him a lot more likeable than most fictional vampire heroes for me.

I grew up on R.L. Stine and Christopher Pike teen horror novels and honestly, this felt like one of those, just grown up along with it's audience.

Anyway, something about the book caught me and I'll be grabbing some more of Armintrout's books for sure.
