That girl was one of the stupidest, high-strung, frustratingly-naive (I thought she was described to be sharp) and over-dramatic heroines I've ever read. No character development whatsoever. I didn't see why everyone wanted her.
As for the story, it was going well despite that girl. Mystery on-going, weird things, high-profile vampires, wacky best-friend, you know the usual pitfalls. It was vampires obviously but then it took so long and nothing was really uncovered anyway but more theories. Then, three-fourths through or something it threw in why our girl is special snowflake. I mean, come one. A Fury? I'm all for something different but it does not really work. Call it something else and maybe it will get better. She's a Vladescu for crying out loud. A girl and a boy who are the antithesis of each other. I can almost smell the fact the she's the reincarnation of Lily.
I'm also not onboard with how Silvia, our special snowflake's mother, was portrayed. Her vapid, careless attitude did not fit in with the situation despite her redeeming quality that she really did love her husband.
Oh yeah, I had flashes of Twilightish moments and phrases. Basically, anytime the word "addiction" comes up in a vampire story I'm immediately on high alert.
I want to read the next book just to see what happens but I'm afraid to. I'm afraid there would be no character development.
