Though I'm not realy a vampire fan, nor a great admirer of the typical PNR genre(so I didn't read that many of them, and can't realy compare), I thought this one is ok, more a 3 1/2 star. I went through it pretty quickly, because of the fluent style and nevertehless curious how it would continue. Though its general plot is quite predictable and I got what I expected: some paranormal suspense , the good fighting the bad , some romance and at the end the good one wins and gets the girl (or the girl wins and gets the good one). And so I want to read the next book in this series...
