This really surprised me. I was not expecting it to be this good. Especially since it's the first book in the series. I loved it! 
 Patricia Briggs has described it as 'Bond meets Dracula - only better than that' and I completely agree (not that I've read either books but I've seen both the films, that counts no?) 
 Jaz was a great heroine and really made me laugh. Her "relationship" with Vayl I thought was very unique and overall was simply a great read, making me both laugh and cry (well...nearly) throughout. 
 And yeah, it wasn't perfect and others will probably find faults but there was something about it that I just really liked so I'm definitely looking forward to the next books!!
