Addie LaRue did the immortality curse with flashbacks/alternating perspectives plot better, but the vampire element (and focus on maternal rather than romantic love) made for an interesting take on (im)mortality. I kept waiting for more to happen (or for there to be another big twist after the main twist relating to Leo's family), but in the end it was kind of nice for it to just be about making her peace with immortality and learning to join her fellow vampires instead of moping around and trying to make a life among mortals.
