Oh, god, this book is so bad. Just. So bad. If the jacket flap had told me that there were also Angels in opposition to the Vampires (always capitalized), I would never EVER have picked it up. If I weren't reviewing this for a professional publication, I would have stopped reading after chapter one. As it is, I very seriously considered quitting it anyways and just writing the review based on the prologue & first chapter. As it turns out, finishing the book does not change my review substantially.

The dialogue is awkward and unrealistic, and all the characters are SUPREMELY annoying, except the Irish Vampire. Unfortunately, he insists on calling the heroine "love" and "sweetness" the entire damn book, which is pretty annoying. And the heroine? UGH. Literally, EVERY SINGLE DECISION she makes is in relation to one of the dudes, all of whom are super disrespectful and sexist. She's either being treated like a damsel in distress (despite being more powerful than all of the other characters) or given no agency to make her own decisions or as if she means "try harder" when she says no. And the dudes all get away with this because they're super hot. Just ugh. SO MUCH UGH.

I can totally picture the teenage girl who would LOVE this book (think Twilight fan, looking for a little more danger), but I certainly will never recommend it to anyone.
