So. IMO. This book had a lot going on considering we're not done with these two characters. There was just too much. It's like every idea the author had about vampires being sexist plus the kitchen sink was all tossed in at once. Don't get me wrong, they were all good ideas. I liked them individually but when you threw them all together to make one book it just got a little boring. I loved the concept of the different types of vampires and them having different gifts. Sounds very Twilight-ish. I like the fact that there was a strong female lead and that the book was an enemies to lovers situation. There were other parts of the book that also, so me felt kind of Twilight-ish but that's just me. The heat factor is at about a 3 since there was no real action until about halfway through. The author could have done so much more with the sire, and the love triangle but didn't. The backstory of Sam's previous love felt like a filler and not necessary. However, the book had some really good moments and I loved the banter between characters. It had a dark and comedic undertone to it.
