I was looking forward to reading this - paranormal romance is a "go to" genre for me. The book is based on a great concept and there was a lot of world-building involved. I ended up a bit disappointed though, mostly with Alex. He was a detective with the police department. He was good at his job and had a history of "weird things" happening throughout his life. Based on this, I expected him to adjust with the supernatural aspects of his experience quickly and he did. I was a bit more disappointed with his reaction to Cronin's diet. As a detective, I thought at the very least he would have misgivings about the feeding requirements of a vampire. I also thought things went too quickly and would have liked the book to be more fleshed-out.
