I thought that this book would suck and be annoying and basically have a main character very similar to Bella Swan. (It's sad that she has become my point of reference when describing Vampire novels. You have ruined my judgement Twilight!) However, Jessica and her quirky parents are entertaining and not at all what I expected. I liked how her parents (adoptive ones) were so supportive and protective of her, but still allowed her to be her own person. Lucius was a dek. He was so full of himself, but so damn sexy. I wanted to shoot him for everything twisted thing he ended up doing to Jessica; especially when he became sooooo self centered. He was self centered in the beginning, but he got even worse as the book progressed. Well, it was more self sacrificing with a dash of over bearing protectiveness, and a hint of personal darkness issues. Jessica was interesting, though I didn't really understand her adversion to her past and her past parents. And while I like books like these and other supernatural books; Jessica was way WAY too stubborn for her own good. Even I (I happen to be a practical sort person, thinking my parents are a bit nutso to be looking for ghosts and spirits) would believe that he was a vampire after a certain amount of truth and evidence. She was a bit too practical and dense/stubborn for her own good. 
 I did like the book, so I advise that others should give it a try. It's not bad and it can be funny at times. Also, it's on sale at Chapters right now, so it's a perfect time to get it.
