Although not my normal genre, I have to admit this was a fun, quick read. Entertaining for a book about vampires.

Poor development of character and relationships - why was the story crammed into a one week timeline? Unimaginative plot twists. Graphic descriptions of violence felt uncomfortable and misplaced in a book in the style of Sex and the City

Simply Fangtastic!
This is a very good book. I want to state that simply because it is the most important point of this review. I could launch into hyperbolic descriptions of the wit in the writing, the skillful storytelling and the interweaving of different threads, I fear doing so with overwhelm the simple fact that this was a very fun, engaging read.
The real key to the Brilliance of this book is the character development. Not only is Sarah a compelling protagonist, but her journey from everyday working gal to powerful vampire is not only believable, it's an extremely enjoyable trip. These kinds of books rise or fall on the strength of the characters, and "bitten smitten" succeeds brilliantly.
I am genuinely looking forward to reading more in this series. the characters are fun, and are the type of folks that the reader wants to spend some time with. well done!

Love this series, I started reading them a long time ago from the library but I picked up the third one. I personally love the main character Sarah as she’s such an idiot sometimes it hurts.
Good
Funny. Sex and the City vibes. Sarah is a very fun and lovable character. The storyline was good with some nice plot twists.

3.5 stars, humorous, reminded me of [b:Undead and Unwed|421129|Undead and Unwed (Undead, #1)|MaryJanice Davidson|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1298768655s/421129.jpg|2523603]. Fast read.
Sarah Dearly woke up to her blind date trying to bury her in a cemetery, claiming he was a vampire & that he'd bitten and turned her into a vampire (without her consent) as well. Assuming he was crazy and running away from him, she bumps into some men that she thinks will rescue her, but turn out to be vampire hunters who intend to kill her just as soon as they've finished killing her date. Fleeing from them, she winds up being rescued by a centuries-old vampire who had been about to kill himself.
This was an interesting take on the traditional vampire legends in which it appears that instead of vampire hunters being the good guys in the story, they are the villians who are out to murder innocent people who just happen to drink blood.
I enjoyed this unusual vampire tale about Sara learning what being a vampire really means and what she needs to know in order to survive in her new existence both with other vampires and vampire hunters. I'd recommend giving this one a try if you're looking for something a little different or unexpected. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading book 2 in this series.
