This is a cute, fun, paranormal romance that thinks it's cuter and funnier than it is. The protagonist, Iris Scanlon, is a "daywalker," that is someone who takes care of vampires' needs while they're sleeping or otherwise hiding from the evil day star. At 29, Iris has been responsible for her younger sister Gigi (17, I think) since they're parents died five (?) years ago, so she's got to make a decent living and keep her nose clean. 

The world building is solid, and the storytelling is compelling enough that I'll probably read the next one.
