There are no healthy relationships in this story. Every husband cheats, and the women's lives revolve around making their husband's happy. A majority of this story took place in the 90s, but honestly it felt like the 40s or 50s with how they had to give up their careers just to get married. It was depressing how the women were treated.
The best parts of this book were Miss Mary, and how brutal some of the scenes were. It was a pleasant surprise, as I like seeing vampires as bloody, vicious creatures, but it just couldn't save the rest of the book, at least for me.
