Critic reviews
"The romance sizzles, the plot develops ingeniously and suspensefully, and the satire sings." ( Publishers Weekly, starred review)
amazing

It did not take me long at all to get swept away by the characters and their pulse pounding emotions... there are too many
oh my gosh and inside melty moments to pick just one but the moment at the dance when Luscious held Anastasia so close, both of them being swept away by passion and him nearly biting her!!! oohhh HOT!!

I rather liked that Lucius' dark side has some genuine darkness and not purely teen angst.

Of course all our characters could’ve been fleshed out more and their development and motivations could’ve been better..well..developed, but for what it is, it’s fun and a good listen as is.
The narrators, especially Katherine Kellgren, did a good job with bringing the fun and over-the-top atmosphere to the story. Where she lacked in giving some of the characters distinct voices, she made up for in acting out the various emotions in Jessica’s inner-monologues, which was fantastic! One of the best narrations, in that respect, I’ve ever heard. And I also enjoyed the narration of Lucius by the other narrator (forgive me, I don’t have his name in front of me). He does an amazing job bringing his letters to life and giving this character a lot more depth than he would have otherwise.
Overall, I’d recommend this to anyone who enjoys a fun listen/read in the YA paranormal, vampire, comedic/satirical, romance genres. And although I got it through the Audible Escape membership, I think it’d be worth a credit.
Surprisingly Fun!

So different from the average vampire story and SO good!

I grew up as the big sister to a Horse Person, and I used to prescreen books for equine-related inaccuracies for her. Poor research about horses abounds in literature and movies, and this drives Horse People to distraction. And if something bad were to happen to a horse in the story then forget the whole thing!
Well, apparently I still automatically prescreen for poor equine research, and now it drives me nuts too. This book is full of poor equine research, permanent bad things happen to horses in this story, and even though the main character is supposedly a horse person herself, she frequently treats her horse like a car. You know, like something you can park and forget about, even to the point of leaving her poor mare out in the front lawn overnight fully saddled. This was after a 4-H Show where someone without a team and no previous 4-H experience rode a completely green, abused, supposedly 18-hand Mustang mare in a jumping competition. There are six separate highly improbable things in that last sentence!
Anyway, if my Horse Person sister had encountered this book when she was a teen (or let's be real, now too!), she'd have been very angry and upset.
Now, after all that, horses aren't even really the main element of this book. However, it illustrates one of several places where the author chose to take the easy road and use shallow caricatures instead of putting more work into her research and plot-building. I've grown to appreciate it when someone puts in effort, and this book left me noticing all the places the author avoided it.
So at this point, if you're not a Horse Person, you probably think I'm nuts and I don't blame you. From the other reviews so far, non-Horse People don't notice a thing about any of this. But hey, Sis! I've still got your back! Don't listen to this one -- you will throw your poor mp3 player across the room and call me up to rant and rave!
Horse enthusiasts, beware!
