So Thirsty by Rachel Harrison
3.0
I've finally determined that Rachel Harrison's books just aren't for me. I'm certainly not the target audience, but there's just something about her characters that rubs me wrong. I'm happy with characters who are unlikable, but every one of these characters is just frustratingly annoying and lacking in any real depth, and I want to shake them all by the shoulders.
That said, So Thirsty is pretty fun, and it has a solid first and third act, but the middle seems to be missing. We don't get to see this new life they've "chosen," and the romance that is built up through the first half goes absolutely nowhere.
That's a shame, because slowing this story down and letting characters interact when there isn't either a crisis or a love scene might allow them to show themselves as more interesting. As it is, the event that shocks these two out of their everyday lives could have been anything, and we wouldn't need a batch of generic Eurotrash vampires at all.
