"This one was pretty funny and was another one of the vampire books with ghost, liches, and a bunch of other mythical stuff mixed in. I liked that the heroine in the book did not have a perfect body and had insecurities about her body, mostly thats because I feel about myself most days. "

    " This was a really good book if you like books about vampires. I am so looking forward to the next book in the series. This was the first book I read by MacAlister, but I am definately going to read more of her books. She is an excellent writer. "

    " Spicy vampire paranormal romance. Not completely convinced by the relationship between Pia and Kristoff and found the internal conflict Pia had not convincing at all. "

    " I feel like this series is going downhill. I actually did like Pia in this book, but her personality is similar, though not exactly the same, as the other heroines. This series feels like if you've read one, you've read them all. I'm not sure why I'm still reading on, except that the books are pretty easy reading, and still fairly entertaining. "

    " I can't say I liked this book much. I like Katie Mac and all, but I'm a little tired of her heroines obsessing about a few extra pounds for the ENTIRE book. Pia just came off as whiny and I didn't care much for her at all. "

    " I adore Katie's style of writing. It always makes for an entertaining read. Only downside to this book is that the story didn't end completely. I now need to read Crouching Vampire, Hidden Fang to find out what happens with Pia, Alec and Kristoff. "

    " Loved this book! If you're anything like me...go ahead and pick up book # 7: Crouching Vampire, Hidden Fang. Her stories normally work themselves out in one book...but this one took two books to smooth things over. It nearly killed me to wait a whole year. "

    " Katie MscAlister is a quirky author. I love the fact that she had me laughing through most of this entire book. This was a fun read, a breather from more serious books alike in this genre. Also the romance element in this book will have you cheerleading from the sidelines. "
