This is likely gonna represent the break in a string of 4-star reviews. Point of fact, I feel a rant coming on. It's readable, but not at very good.

And...they're fucking again. This might be a halfway interesting urban fantasy if the two leads weren't in insta-love and constantly fucking. Maybe they should figure out who's killing all those innocent young women rather than shagging. And "Bones?" Seriously? What kind of a name is that?

Why is "blushing" not part of seduction? Given the pervy-skeevy nature of the vamps that Bones is selecting as marks, Cat's occasional "virginal" reactions should attract like flies on a corpse.

Still early, but methinks rumor is indeed full of shit. Absence of a sense of place gives the overall story a kind of blandness.
