  <default-description>In this first book of an all-new trilogy, life proves stranger than the movies when a Hollywood underground coven of vampires comes to light-and gets targeted by the tough-as-nails daughter of a sexy screen siren. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Stuntwoman Dawn Madison hasn't been on the best of terms with her father since her movie star mother died. Still, he is her dad, and when he vanishes while investigating the bizarre sighting-caught on film-of a supposedly long-dead child star, she comes home to Tinseltown to join the search for him. Working with his odd colleagues, she discovers an erotic and bloody underground society made up of creatures she thought existed only on the screen.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[OK - I give up. The beginning of this book was pretty good. We were introduced to the different main players, all interesting in their own way. Unfortunately that was only in the beginning. Toward the middle I felt it really bogged down with writing about - nothing - that it was all I could do to pi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68062307">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I had to force myself to get through even half of this book. The narration is choppy from the start, and the character's voices are never fully developed. The plot had great potential, but the execution is poorly done. In all honesty? I've read better fanfiction. ]]></body>

Dawn is learning how to fight vamps. However, I had a hard time getting in to the book. I think the premise has lots of potential.
