Eh. My friend reccomended this series to me, and it's one of her all time favorites. I think readers of Janet Evanovich who love Vampires would really like this title, but it takes a really special book to make me like vampires, and this just wasn't it for me. The premise is that someone is killing off vampires, and heroine has to solve the crime---but I just didn't care about the dead vampires, and never really felt a threat. Also: Wererats? Uh.

I did get a little bit confused by the story line (as to why the master vamp really wanted to kill her when she also wanted her to find out who the serial killer was). Did get rather attached to Philip as well (got a little bit emotional at the end).
Looking forward to continuing with the series.
