By Meg Cabot
There are two unusual things about Meena Harper: she writes for a soap opera, and she can see how people are going to die. When her soap bosses want to create a vampire story line, Meena is frustrated, since she is sick of all the supernatural silliness. Then she meets Lucien, a tall, dark, brooding stranger who is impossible for her to resist. Of course, he's also a vampire.
This book couldn't decide whether to be sinister or silly, so it settled on uninspired. Had the author stayed with Meena's odd gift of foretelling death, it would have been unique... instead she is the pawn of a vampire war. Some characters were just too stupid for words. How can a vampire be gossipy and chatty and stay alive for hundreds of years? And don't get me started on how dopey Meena's brother Jon is --- not a surprise that he's unemployed and lazy. Thank heavens for a determined vampire hunter, and some campy fight scenes.
