I prefer reading romance novels and bought this thinking there would be romance in it, but there was none. This is a mystery thriller with Anita who is human trying to solve the mystery of who is killing vampires. It is written in first person, as told by Anita. She talks in the style of a 1950's private detective. She sounds like a jaded, tough guy making sarcastic remarks to almost everyone, including those about to kill her. Her ability to kill vampires and others could be described as follows. She is fighting creatures who are tougher than her or outnumber her, but she keeps fighting, doesn't give into fear, tries to distract them, and usually gets lucky and wins, using knives and guns. I did not enjoy reading this. I kept wishing it would be over.
