Kind of terrible but in the fun trashy fiction short of way.   Main character is hilariously clueless about so many things, leaving all common sense and self preservation at the door as soon as a hot guy walks into her restaurant.
Cliche but not too over done on the vampire/supernautal tropes.
The attempts at hot vampire sex scenes had me just about rolling on the floor with laughter.
Will continue with the series as a good train wreck is hard to look away from.
Will give credit where credit is due, while most of the book's mysteries are pretty obvious and easy to figure out right from the start, did not figure out the killer till the very end.  Could also be because the murder plot is treated like a slight inconvenience that is happening in the background up untill then as well. 

Over all a so bad its fun kind of book.
