I'm not quite sure how I feel about this book. Part of me liked the uncomplicated, straightforward approach that Jane was forced to take when she was made a vampire. Then there's another part of me that thought that everything was too streamlined and wanted some twisty angst and ... stuff. Maybe I should have started this review by mentioning that humorous paranormal romances always walk a fine line with me. Most of the time I think they try a little too hard to be cute and it ends up feeling forced which takes me out the book and makes my face sad. It's like when I try to read Chick Lit books. I just don't get them. I get that other people like them and think they're great, but I don't see it. Or maybe it's like watching romantic comedies with my friends. I enjoy parts of them and I enjoy spending time with my friends but I'd rather stab myself in the arm with a fork than... actually, I don't think I'd ever voluntarily stab myself anywhere with a fork so that's turning into a really bad analogy.

Anyway. I'm not sure how I feel about this book. It wasn't badly written. The characters were engaging. But it wasn't my usual fare. Now the reason I usually read dark, twisty, angsty, hot, bondage-y books is because I like them. Why mess with a good thing? I ask. Why?

Once again, I've totally derailed my train of thought and jumped the track.

The bottom line is that while this book wasn't for me, it wasn't a bad book at all. I just happen to like my books a little less tongue in cheek. Or tongue on fang. Or fang in cheek. Whatever. I like my books dark. And this book didn't fit the bill.

But that doesn't mean you shouldn't give it a try.
