I found this plot really silly and, frankly, hard work. Vampires, college professors apparently involved in some sort of cult, four missing students and the police/FBI aren't all over it? I also found the heroine really irritating in places. She did such crazy things. Yes, I know she's supposed to be feisty but she went beyond that and was just plain silly at times.

There was also a lot of repetition - almost as though trying to make up the word count. How many times were we told that she didn't love the hero - a man from her past - or that her father was anxious about her? Ditto with his introspective thoughts. Get over yourselves! Readers know you're going to finish up together so credit up with some intelligence and don't labour the point.

I'm trying hard to think of something positive to say. Okay, I've got it. I persevered and got to the end of the book, just to see if it improved. For me, it didn't, but this is a popular author so perhaps I just didn't 'get' where she was coming from.
