I'm not usually a vampire person, but I liked the story. The feeding/sex scenes were fine (again, not my taste... hehe "taste") but the story between Valtu and Dahlia really got me. I don't usually cry when I read smut books but damn! Pretty mad though when I found out the last book isn't out. I hate waiting.
