Why did I pick this book: I was asked by the author to review this book. (I received a copy of this book for review purposes.)

Did I enjoy this book:
I’ll be honest.  I agreed to review this book because I thought the title was silly and because I was fairly certain it was going to be awful.  I expected sentence fragments, grammatical errors, and the rambling storylines that often accompany self-published books.

I. Was. Wrong.

I loved it.  I finished it in a night.  It was cute, and romantic, and if I were a teenage girl I’d consider hanging a poster.  Nance doesn’t take the whole “vampire” thing too seriously, and I think that’s what makes this book work.  Instead of groaning when she dresses her vampires in black, sexy outfits, I found myself giggling.  When the leading man-vampire (manpire?) likes to cook and has a soft spot for orphans and preppy clothes, the dark, sexy vampire underworld seems just a bit silly, and I liked that.  The story’s common enough (I mean, girl-who-falls-for-vampire isn’t exactly a novel idea), but Nance made it feel new, and in a world of TwilightTrueBloodVampireDiaries, that’s saying something.

Would I recommend it: Sure!  Get yourself a glass of wine, tune your Pandora station to “Seven Devils Radio,”  and read away.

Will I read it again: I’m excited to read the rest of the series.
