Looks like it's going to be a good series ( )

I needed a little light and fluffy in my life right now. :)

This was just what the doctor ordered. Very distracting, fast paced book with a fair bit of humour. Also some sex and of course violence. Come on, there are vampires, after all. I liked it quite a lot and I've ordered the next couple books in the series from the library. ( )

Een leuk boek voor tussendoor. Het verhaal wordt wat harkerig verteld, maar de plot is leuk en de karakters ook. De volgende boeken zijn wat vloeiender om te lezen. Altijd fijn als een serie beter wordt en dat wordt het. ( )

Very good

Not your normal vampire book. I really enjoyed this book, it had a lot of action and mystery and suspense in it. A true page turner. I recommend this to all of you who love this genre. ( )

I have to admit this is one of my many comfort reads. While I'm not a fan of Sookie Stackhouse, I can't help but enjoy the other characters and the world that has been built. It's definitely a fun read if you're looking for mystery and romance with a supernatural touch. ( )
