This book left me with mixed feelings. While it wasn't the best-written book I've ever read and had its flaws, it was fast-paced, easy to read, and quite entertaining.
I didn't like the main character. I found her to be self-important and irritating, especially with her repetitive use of the word "urg." If she used that one more time I might have lost the will to live! On the other hand, I really enjoyed the supporting characters, particularly Alex, and wished his character was more developed and we knew more about his backstory.
The book presented a clever premise, offering a unique take on the vampire genre, but I felt that the execution fell short. For example, the main character's claim of being a vegan didn't align with her choices to drink milk in her tea and try beef.
Another issue I had was the main character's knowledge of her attacker's gender despite having no memory of the incident. Additionally, while she seemed to possess certain powers, little was elaborated on this aspect of her character other than a brief mention by one of the other vampires. I wonder if this will be explored in future books in the series.
If you're seeking an intense vampire story or a laugh-out-loud read, this might not be the book for you. However, if you're in the mood for a quick and undemanding read, it might just hit the spot.
