This book did nothing for me. The writing style was loopy, the main character totally unlikeable, it was just a mess. I was disappointed because I really wanted to read this.

I loved this book. I liked how the author changed perspectives at the start of each chapter. The story was good. I liked the mystery that surrounded Eric & who he was before becoming a vampire. Will definitely read the next book. There was some items left unanswered at the end of the book.

I really liked this book. I thought it was going to be one of the more "dark" type vampire stories, but it was actually really funny & very entertaining. I cant wait to read the next one & follow the crazy adventures of Eric. I was a bit distracted w/ the change of perspectives at each chapter, but once I got used to it, I actually liked having all the different perspectives. 4 stars.

I loved this book. It's not anywhere near a paranormal romance and I think the cover doesn't represent the darkness of the book. The main character, Eric, is not a lovable, sparkly vampire - he's brutal, cruel but still holds on to a slight bit of his humanity.
The book alternates chapters between Eric and his girlfriend, Tabitha. I liked the different perspectives and it's not as confusing as a Stephen King can be with the switching between characters and their thoughts. (Don't get me wrong - I love Stephen King!)
I'm looking forward to book two.

This is a book that's FUN. Definitely hard to put down. Run out and get it -right now-, trust me. Because I was reading the library's copy, and within a very few pages I was thinking, "If I steal this book, they'll have to buy another!" but I'd rather buy _Staked_ honestly.
Great book. I nearly blew a work deadline because I got caught up in reading.
Last night I stayed up to finish the book. _Staked_ rocks. Want more -- now! Luckily, the sequel will be out spring of 2009.
Warning: violence, sarcasm, pizza lust, wit, humor, etc.
Also wins the prize for great first lines.
