This was a very fast read told from Beths point of view. The ending left me hanging which didnt come as a surprise as I knew there is a second book. Unfortunately, I cant help but think that this story could have been done in one entire book instead of being separated. At any rate, as I said before, this was a very fast read and entertaining for the most part. Beth doesnt waste a lot of time in setting the scene of what happens to her. My first impression of Beth is that she is your typical overachiever teenager (do they even exist?) who is pretty obsessed about what college she wants to attend and has made up her mind that staying in Austin, Texas is not an option. One of the things I found strange for me was she didnt seem to mourn the fact that being undead meant her life had ended. She needs blood to survive and there are vampire hunters out there with only one agenda, which is killing her. She didnt seem to be affected by what her parents would say or do. Nope. She probably isnt going to tell them. No, instead, she seems more put out and pissed off that her plans for college seem to have been derailed. Even, as a vampire, she remains more concerned about remaining Valedictorian. That having been said, it didnt put me off of the story. I liked that Beth continued to want to live a normal life or as normal as she could without fully turning undead and becoming evil. I liked that her best friend stuck by her once she got over the initial freaking out moment. And I liked that Beth manages to find a little romance along the way.

I prefer this authors demon-hunting soccer mom series, but if you are looking for a light vampire themed romance that isnt bogged down in details and isnt too heavy on angst and turmoil, give this one a try.
