Light story about a housewife who becomes a vampire.

When Jessica Matthews is attacked and nearly killed she's turned into a vampire by the sexy Patrick O'Halloran she finds herself living a different life. The fact that pretty much the whole town ends up living a vampiric life makes this interesting. When she discovers that if she has sex with a vampire they're partners for 100 years she has a lot of choices to make.

It's light vampire romance lit. It's nothing earthshaking but I did enjoy the read. ( )

I wasn't expecting much of this book/series for a chick lit/paranormal romance. I was surprised out how good this book/series was. Funny, witty, lil bit of sex. I greatly enjoyed this book. ( )

Hilarious, sexy, easy, read. Makes u wish u were the main character! Author does a great job mixing sexiness, humor, and eroticism. If you love vampire fiction/romance, you will LOVE this book! ( )

This book wasn't very good. I wanted to like it and was so excited to find it at my local used bookstore. The concept was fresh and fun. A vampire accidentally turns a bunch of housewives (and one househusband) into vampires. The vampire group (policticians kinda) buy out the rest of the dying town and come up with a plan to run it specifically to suit vampires and other supernatural creatures. The whole first half of the book seemed very disjointed. I had a hard time keeping up with what was going around because I felt like the author kept changing ideas when the first points hadn't been completed. Often I had to go back and re-read something to see what I missed. The vampire hero and the newly turned housewife vampire fell in love almost instantaneously and their 'obstacle' to happy ever after felt forced. The best part of this book involved Jessica, our heroine, dealing with the betrayal of her now deceased husband and coming to terms with his mistress and her husband's 'love' child. That story actually felt real and Jessica's emotions worked positively here. There were some cute scenes but this book was also overly heavy on sexual descriptions. There was so much sex it was boring. Usually I go on and on about how I enjoy a story's secondary characters, but these were one deminsional and dull. I have the next two books already and I will read them, but here is to hoping they aren't all like this. Side note: I have a friend who devours books like I do, and she only made it to page 50 before she returned it to the library. ( )

First off I should say books with a lot of romantic angst really turn me off. That said, this book had a LOT of romantic angst - strike one. A lame start and a melodramatic finish combine for another strike. I do have to give the author some credit though and say that some of the vamp/Celtic history in the middle was interesting, the paranormal town premise was interesting, and there were a few funny moments with the kids and the werewolves (and, once, an unfortunate cat). However, the highly annoying main character brings us to... strike 3 - and you're out. ( )
