This book is has way too much going on in it. The multiple story lines and choppy transitions make it an unenjoyable read. I felt as if the story just did not flow! I picked this book because it was the first in a vampire/paranormal series. I enjoy reading series. I will not be buying the second book in this series! It is all I can do to get through this one. I am still in process of reading it and it taking me much too long. I would highly recommend the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris if you enjoy Vampire/Paranormal with much more character depth and story line. I'll just have to keep looking for another good series.
