I never knew vampires could be so boring.
I think my biggest gripe about this book is that the protagnist has NOTHING going for her outside of the fact that she catches a vampire's eye. She has no hopes, no apirations, no dreams, no hobbies. She cooks for her loser father and placates her shallow mother, and that's IT. And I suppose it aggravates me that the vampire falls for her, because I can't figure out what's so interesting about her. For someone who has been around for 100 years, one would think they'd go for the bizarre or truly unique, instead of shoes that any faint-hearted strumpet could fill. But perhaps that's the book's rather vapid appeal.
The rules of the vampires are somewhat original, but I think if they glowed like solar diamonds in the sun they'd be a lot more obvious.
