I actually really enjoyed this although I didnt expect to. I like the predictable PNRs. Girl meets vampire, girl falls for vampire, vampire risks all for girl, HEA. Once I realized that this was not going in that direction, I got a little worried. But I ended up really enjoying it anyways. No, this was more like girl meets vampire, girl falls for vampire, vampire terrifies, terrorizes, and incinerates dozens of ppl in an attempt to protect girl, girl runs from vampire, vampire stalks girl. Haha, More...

Leave it to Meg Cabot to take something as dark, brooding and oh-so-serious as vampires and turn it into something fun, funny and frivolous! Just when you think you can't take another vampire book, she throws something a little different into the mix. (Although for the record, I am still riding the vampire wave and loving it.)

This is just such a different vampire story than anything I've read. There is so many references to popular 'vampire culture,' even my girl Sookie gets a shout out. Cabot i More...

I think I've only read a couple of Cabot's books before and they were okay books, so I wasn't sure I'd like this one.
This was a good read. Very solid, slightly predictable, plot that has your standard Vampire, Vampire Hunter and the girl who's stuck in the middle, with a variety of characters to chose amongst your favorites. The writing is obviously very skilled but it took a bit to get use to the multiple point of views from different characters. It didn't take away from the experience but ther More...

DNF - The cover for this book caught my attention from the get-go, I absolutely love the cover. Must be the red, my favorite color. Insatiable was my first book to read by Meg Cabot and I couldn't finish it. It wasn't that it was bad but I put down after about 100 pages in and have no desire to pick it back up again. I've tried talking myself into finishing this book but it lacks that spark of excitement that I usually get from reading an Urban Fantasy or Paranormal Romance. The story line was o More...

I was in kitchen just now, and I attemped to cut a peice of cheese to put on my cracker, but (because I'm a bit of a disaster) I slammed the knife down too hard and had a cheese EXPLOSION on my hands. Why am I telling you this? Because the phrase 'an explosion of cheese' pretty much sums up this book.

Cheese variety number one: The main character was called Meena, her brother was called Jon (or Jonathan); their surname was Harper. Meena and Jonathan Harper, MEENA and JONATHAN Harper. Now why does More...

my favorite line- "lucien was furious...but even when furious, he was conscientious about litter." who wouldn't laugh at that?

this is the face of guilty pleasure reading. ridiculous plot, vampire/"wulf" overkill, soapy characters, multiple characters falling in love in about 20 minutes. i think the soap opera subplot was brilliant as this whole book read like one gigantic, over-the-top vampire soap opera. thrilled to find out it's a series. i laughed and laughed the whole time i was reading. eve More...

Od této knihy jsem toho moc neočekávala, spíš jsem se jí tak trochu bála, ale po dočtení jsem byla víceméně spokojená.
Mína pracuje jako scénáristka u pořadu Nenasytná. Její život je vcelku normální, až tedy na to, že jakmile se podívá člověku do očí, ví, jak ta osoba zemře. Ale jinak opravdu normální.
Až do dne, když jí její neoblíbená kolegyně Šošona oznámí, že do scénáře musí zakomponovat upíry, protože konkurenční televize s nimi má obrovský úspěch. Upíři jsou všude. A Mína je nesn More...

Meena Harper is your typical working woman in NYC. She has a great job as a soap writer, a perky dog that adores her, and a live-in brother that's mooching off her. Her life wouldn't be that unusual, except for the fact that she can predict when people are going to die and she just found out her new boyfriend is really a vampire.

Add in a Palantine guardsman that is holding her hostage in order to kill her boyfriend, and her life has suddenly just become that much more complicated.

This story had More...

(Warning: contains heavy sarcasm!)
This book was so annoying. First of all – I loved Princess diaries, so I´m not a hater of Mrs. Cabot. (And I also like dogs, for the record)

But Insatiable was just too much for me to bear. Characters were flat, main heroine was a silly girl surrounded by even sillier people.

Main hero – irresistible vampire Lucien is either trying to make a point how harmless and human-loving he is, or he´s demonstrating his powers by threatening his half-brother.

Meena Harper is having a bad week. Instead of having the type of precognition that could actually be useful, say like picking winning lottery numbers, Meena's gift is more like a curse. How would you like to meet someone and instantly know how they are going to die? Not exactly a great way to make new friends either. To make matter's worse, her recently unemployed brother More...

This may be my favorite Meg Cabot novel to date. And that's saying a lot.

The novel follows Meena Harper, a dialogue writer on a major soap opera called Insatiable. She desperately wants to be promoted to head writer, but loses the promotion. She shares an apartment in a nice old coop building with her unemployed brother. And she can tell you when and how you're going to die.

This last thing is a real problem in her life. She doesn't like to ride the subway, as there are simply too many people tha More...

I started reading this book right after I finished Marked by P.C. Cast (House of Night #1) and thought it would be fitting - since Marked is supposedly about vampires, but after reading it - I found that they talked more about witchcraft and spells - than actual vampirism. So I thought it fitting to read a book that was about a gal who was "forced" to write about vampires. Well - I got what I asked for. This book was so much about vampires, to the point that I was ready to GAG. There were too ma More...

I thought this was such a good book. Ive always been really into vampire novels and I found this book for $4 at Fred Meyers. I started reading it before school got out for the summer so I didnt have a lot of time to read. When summer came i was able to read more and i finished the book in about two days.

I loved Insatiable. I fell in love with the characters, especially Lucien, and i wanted them to be together. There were a few things that i was not expecting, but that made it better for me. I e More...

Soap writer Meena Harper has the very annoying supernatural power of being able to tell how someone is going to die. Sounds like it could be a useful thing to be able to do, but in her experience, it's almost impossible to warn people in a way that a) doesn't make them think you're a loon, and b) will result in their actually changing their behaviour. Understandably, things can get a bit depressing sometimes.

Meena's power has put a damper on her love life, which is why she's so shocked when she More...

"Eternity" ist ein Vampirroman von Meg Cabot, der in diesem Jahr mit "Endless" fortgesetzt wurde. Mich hat nicht nur das wunderschöne Cover dieses Romans überzeugen können, sondern auch das, was sich zwischen den Buchdeckeln befindet.

Inhalt: Meena Harper ist Dialogschreiberin einer schon seit Jahrzehnten laufenden Soap namens "Eternity" und hat sich damit ihren Traumjob gesichert - und das, obwohl sie sich jeden Tag verstellen muss, denn Meena hat eine besondere Gabe: Sie sieht den Tod anderer M More...

Meg Cabot is my guilty pleasure. I have a lot of love for her work and have followed her across all her series so far. I was very intrigued to see that she's written a vampire novel and picked it up in a manner reminiscent of somebody crossing the Rubicon (this is a genre that I do *not* frequent)

Insatiable is the first (naturally) of a series which deals with Meena Harper. The Mina Harker allusions are most intentional. Meena is gifted, or not, with a skill to predict people's deaths. She knows More...

I had a hard time rating this book, because you can't give half stars. I would have given this two and a half stars if I could, because it isn't quite a three-star story, although it does have its good points.

It's a vampire story, and it's a little different from the average vampire story, because it involves a romantic triangle - of sorts - with a vampire hunter thrown in for good measure. Plus there's a bit of history included about the life of Vlad Dracula, so if you like your vampire plots w More...

I have not read very many books by Meg Cabot, but after reading this book, I get why everyone loves her so much! What a great book!

This is definitely not your typical, meet vampire, fall in love with vampire, live happily every after with vampire...etc. You gotta give Ms. Cabot props for capitalizing on this vampire crazed society, and coming up with a unique twist to this overdone story.

It was fresh and different, and it was so good I could hardly put it down! It is so rare these days that you More...

Although this series was intended for adults, I think it's equally (or maybe even more) appropriate for the young adult market.

Insatiable introduces us to Meena Harper, a young woman who writes for a popular daytime drama called Insatiable, and has the annoying ability to predict how people will die. Meena doesn'tbelieve in vampires, and is self-righteously miffed when she's informed that the soap opera will be introducing a story arc featuring one.

Then, she meets Lucien Antonescu, who just happ More...

Meg Cabot doing vampires? Are you kidding me? This was my first reaction when I heard about Insatiable. But then, I realized that that was the exact thing she would do, with this whole vampire obsession in the entertainment world ever since Twilight. I decided to read it; mainly because I was curious as to what new element could she possibly bring to a concept which has already been over exploited. Did I like it? Well, read on to find out.

Sick of hearing about vampires? So is Meena Harper.

But h More...

I love Meg Cabot books and the story of a woman who hates the current vampire craze is right up my alley. Except that alley took a left turn into the twilight.

Meena Harper is a writer for the soap opera Insatiable. She thinks she's in line to take over the head writer position but is shocked and appalled when the job goes to her nemesis - the niece of the producers. To add insult to injury, they've decided to add a vampire to the show (they're getting killed in the ratings by Lust,a rival soap o More...

You know, at first I thought that I was in on the joke. I read some the reviews here and I thought I knew that this book was going to be a parody of 'Twilight' and the likes. I mean Lucien can't read Meena's mind, like Bella and Edward. Alaric "Wulf" is in love with her, i.e Jacob. But not even half way through the book I began to wonder if this was actually a serious attempt at a good story. Then I convinced myself otherwise and thought it was a mockery of Twilight and Bram Strokers Dracula. Bu More...

"Vielleicht konnte ihre Dunkelheit seine vertreiben" [German Review]

Meenas Tag fängt nicht gut an: Die sicher geglaubte Beförderung als Head-Authorin bekommt das Biest, deren Arbeit Meena bisher immer übernommen hat. Als wäre das nicht schon Tiefschlag genug, lautet die erste Anweisung ihrer neuen Vorgesetzten, Vampire in Meenas heiß geliebte Soap zu schreiben, um die Quoten weiter voranzutreiben. Das alles hätte sie dieser Intrigantin noch verzeihen können, aber dass sie ausgerechnet die Handta More...
