How the hell did I stumble upon this....nonsense? 
 Why do authors(many of them these days apparently) think that we women want to be pampered by an alpha dominating male? 
 I mean, who in their right mind would believe in vampires like Roxy does? 
 And Joy was such a hypocrite, saying all of the time that she didn't believe in vampires, but she pegged Dominic as a poser, and Raphael as a real vampire at first? 
 But nevermind that, because after barely a few pages you get the gist about who's the vampire and who's not. Even before stupid Roxy and prejudiced Joyful(I seriously rolled my eyes every time I read that word). 
 Needless to say, I didn't finish the book. I actually started reading the second one by mistake, and liked the first few pages, but I don't think I will return to it either. 
 Also, Roxy and Joy didn't seem to have a very mature friendship. They both seemed silly, and Miranda(was that the name of the witch?) was a very favourite character of mine. 
 The men, the men, Dominic, Raphael, Christian, all of them were fawning over the tall, curvy Joy, who thinks she's not sexy, though it turns out she is. I don't think most women would be so complex about their body, or at least, I hope so. I believe that honesty and acceptance towards your own body and skin will do you much better, rather than thinking you're unable to look sexy and beautiful just because you're tall, you have curves, or you're short and petite, until of course a swoon-worthy alpha male comes and demands you see yourself in a new light. It's just so cliche and boring to read about that type of characters. 
 "Not every man can carry me, I'm tall and heavy." This is paraphrasing, of course, because I would never bother to remember the exact quotes, but it is enough, I think, to get the point. And of course, then Raphael tells Joy that her tallness and curves make her sexy, beautiful, whatever.Again, boring and cliched. Sure, I know that some people do have a complex, but lately, so many female characters seem to have the same type of issues, only to have said issues resolved by a very hot, sexy, alpha male. HAVE SOME INDEPENDENCE, INSTEAD OF DELUSIONS. 
 Also, the so predictable plot, I felt sick just reading it. Now, let me tell you something. I might not be a very famous published author, or an expert, but, being interested in the field, I have managed to get my hands on some basic writing books, and they all tell the same thing about the plot: cause and effect. This one seemed to have overdone it; every one can see the effect if you tell the cause so clearly. With a bit of work and character development, you wouldn't write books whose ending can be predicted in the first few chapters. 
 For example, Roxy and Joy could have laughed at the books. Say, sure they're good fun, but unreal. Roxy needn't have been a virgin. Joy needn't have had a on-and-off guy she seemingly used just for sex. Also, they could have gone to the Czech Republic to look for vamps. Another reason could have taken them there. And Christian could have sent Joy the vision after he had met her. Raphael didn't need the family tradition. And many other things. 
 Needless to say, this book annoyed me more than I originally thought.
