I remember that I opened this book once a couple of months ago, read 3 pages and gave up. I guess I just wasn't in the mood for paranormal romance. But as I am usually a big romance lover I decided to give it another go, as the whole series is one of the favourites of the romance-land. :D 
 While the romance was good, though rather quick 'I love you' development, what really made the book interesting was the background story. Vampires don't 'eat' people, they feed off each other (men off women and vice versa). They are hunted by soulless humans called lessers. The center of the story is the Black Dagger Brotherhood of the best warriors among vampires which protects the normal vampire population from being hunted down by lessers. 
 As for the main couple, we meet the leader of the Brotherhood Wrath and the half-human daughter of a warrior Beth. Beth was a great heroine who knew how to stand up for herself, my favourite kind of girl. :) (view spoiler)[I wasn't really sure what Wrath's hangup was about Beth possibly becoming his shellan and when exactly did he get over it, whatever it was, but otherwise they were a great couple and I enjoyed their story. (hide spoiler)] 
 I'm looking forward to more books in the series.
