This book was good. I found the beginning to be extremely interesting. I loved the action too. However, my interest dropped off near the end of the book. Which is why it took me so long to finish it. I believe I read like five books before I finally finished this one. I'll go into why I think I lost interest in the Spoilery Throughts portion of this review, but I still think this was a good book. Make sure you watch for my video review, which will be posted here: http://bit.ly/RN2j5n 
 My Spoilery Thoughts: (view spoiler)[I think the rescuing of Mordred was where my interest dropped off. That was the plot of the book for so long. Finding him and her connection to him. Once she found him though, her connection dropped and a new, less interesting plot took lead. As though someone flipped a switch, I put the book down and never really gained the urge to fully drop back into it. It disappoints me that I had such a negative reaction to the last 1/3 of the book, because I was so enraptured with the beginning. 
 I was really bummed when Mordred was rescued that he chose to feed from Bram rather than our main character. Why? It would have been more interesting if he had feed from her AND it would have made more sense. At the least, he could have gained his strength back faster. However, this thought leads me to the evil female vampire (Her name escapes now) that was the only one to feed from Lucy. It killed her. Why? I'm racking my brain and I don't recall an explanation being provided. Maybe it was given earlier and I just forgot. I suppose this could be why Mordred didn't feed from her. 
 Now, is this a series? The ending sorta suggests it. It could stand on it's own. We can easily assume that Marco (POLO!) will eventually forgive Lucy and that they'll end up together. However, I'm not really sure that I would classify this ending as being satisfying on its own. (hide spoiler)]

 Damsel--------*--Badass 
 It bothers me to mark her so high, when she never did anything with it. In the beginning, she's awesome. Shows some badass vampire fighting skills. Then she falls in love and for some reason she's treated like she's helpless and mostly stands on the sidelines.
