The world in this one is really, really cool. It's a steampunkish paranormal with a different take on vampires. If we had spent more time exploring the world I would have been happier. 
 The big bad was good too; I also wished we had spent more time exploring that issues. More confrontation, etc. 
 My main problem was that it's a romance and I was meh about the whole relationship. Criminy Stain - the "Bludman" (vampire) is a pretty intriguing character and makes a nice romantic hero, but I still feel we only know him superficially. Letitia/Tish is prickly (she has good reason for not wanting to jump into a new one, her ex-fiance was controlling and abusive), but I wasn't sold that she was "the one" for Criminy. 
 There's also very little chase here. Leticia shows up in Criminy's world and he's already in love with her. There's also another love "possibility" for Leticia, but that felt forced too. I just could never completely buy into the fact that they should be together. 
 That said, I really like the world, and maybe I'll like the next couple better. I'll keep an eye on the series.
