Reads like two separate books slapped together. The first half is the same love story you've read a million times before, then once the characters get together, the book's all “Hey, look! Vampires!” And then there's a trite vampire plot where the vampire is going to kill everybody ... and then he doesn't. The end.
Found myself rushing through the conclusion just to be done with it and move on to something else. If the author had actually tried to weave the love story and the action together, this could have been a three-star book for me.
