Cassie Palmer: TSTL. Within the first few chapters I was groaning aloud and and telling her to "Stop already and just listen to what other people are telling you!" But no, she just blunders on her merry way, causing mayhem as she goes.

That said, it's still four stars from me. Why? Because as infuriating as Cassie can be, this book is still fun, fun, fun all the way! I love the breakneck pace, Pritkin, the supporting characters, Pritkin, the vampire politics, screaming dresses, and er... Pritkin.

So, while I constantly feel the need to slap sense into Cassie as I'm reading about her exploits, I know I'm going to feel that way and just see it as part of emotional rollercoaster that this series subjects me to.

Also? Pritkin.
