The Taker by Alma Katsu

This novel was interesting, but it never exactly caught fire for me. It begins with Lanore in a modern hospital being examined by a doctor who is told that she's just murdered someone.
I think that Lanore was somewhat unsympathetic. Jonathan was certainly unsympathetic. I get that she was in love with him and that he was gorgeous and that he was an unredeemable horn dog. I still don't see why he got a pass for sleeping with every chick in town, including our hero Lanore. The story about how she became immortal and the (horrible) people that she met was much more engrossing than Jonathan. That part of the story flew by. But when the novel circles back to Jonathan, the story drags again.
