Wasn't it last time I mentioned readers judging stuff by its cover or pictures? Nevermind. This book's cover is so cheesy I thought it would be one of those brainless romances with no actual plot and poor dialogues. But guess what, it wasn't!
The universe of this book is portrayed very beautifully with all its dark magic and emotionally distant and seemingly mad vampires. The approach to folklore is a bit different (reminding me of Midnight Breed series where the author too decided to date vampires way more back than humans). Even though it's quite a short book which you will finish in one sitting if you are a fast reader, there are many facts on the whole vampire folklore mentioned so I find it a really nice introduction to a series.
And despite the fact that there is a lot written on vampires and others, primarily it's a romance, don't forget that. In some way it's one of those cheesy one because some things just don't add up (the unemotional protagonist and her smitten vampire who know each other, like, three hours or something; and hundreds of years old vampires who give themselves away when they lie - oh, c'mon!) but there is humor in it and you know it always makes me overlook some serious bullshit.
Or maybe it's the weather which finally cooled down and made me happy in general and as a happy person I just choose not to see the flaws. Either way it was an entertaining read with some steamy action in it and with a funny character (team Odin!) so, why not.
GENRE: romance
FANGS OUT: funny at times and quite descriptive when it comes to its lore FANGS RETRACTING: cheesy
