I really enjoyed this book. Vampires, vampires and more vampires...
Meena Harper is sooo done with hearing about vampires. Especially when the network she works for writting the plot lines for the soap opera actors starts insisting that they also introduce vampires to the mix. She really does hate them, even though she believes they aren't real... Even if she has this bizarre ability to know when someone will die, she still doesn't believe in creatures of the night.
All that changes after she goes to a dinner party at her neighbors. She can't imagine that she's ALWAYS been surrounded by vamps... and ends up falling for one.
Great story by Meg Cabot! I cannot wait for the next book!

Meena hates vampires. They're ruining her life.
First, they invade her work. Meena doesn't get the promotion to head writer she's been hoping to achieve. Then they announce the popular daytime drama will be adding a vampire storyline to compete with its major competition.
Second, there's a serial killer on the loose, leaving dead female bodies drained of their blood in the various parks of New York City.
Third, Meena goes out to walk her dog, Jack Bauer, in the middle of the night. She's attacked by numerous bats, but protected by a mysterious man. She almost thinks she dreamed this late night incident.
Fourth, she starts dating this man after meeting him again at a party, only to discover he's a vampire prince - ruler of all vampires. She discovers the truth about her boyfriend after a member of Palatine, Alaric Wolf, comes to warn her and worm his whereabouts out of her. She refuses to give up his location, even when she realizes that he IS the prince of darkness.
Lucien, despite his family history, seems to love Meena and wants to protect her. However, Alaric Wolf can't stand by and let that happen. He's determined to rescue Meena if it's the last thing he does.
When she puts everything together, Meena's seriously annoyed, but with a vampire war looming, which side will she end up on?
I LOVED this book. Meena is sweet with a wicked sense or humor, snarky, and feisty. Plus, she has a secret where she can see how people are going to die. Her vampire romance is sexy and sweet. Lucien's one part charming and one part dangerous. Wolf is amusing. Meena's vampire neighbors are hilarious - always causing a ruckus in the vampire world, all in the name of matchmaking. All in all, it's a charming, sexy read full of romance, danger, protective men, and one kick-butt heroine.
While this is an adult novel, I think some older teens will naturally gravitate towards it because it's Meg Cabot - and also vampires!
