So far, I've yet to read a Meg Cabot adult book that I haven't liked. Sure, I'll admit that some of them weren't as great as the others- notably Queen of Babble Gets Hitched, but even then her books are still incredibly fun to read. This book was no exception to that rule. 
 Insatiable follows the character of Meena Harper, a woman living in Manhattan & writing for her favorite soap opera. She can't seem to win for losing, what with her bad luck. Not only is her nice yet unemployed brother living with her as well as her working for the worst boss ever, but she's got one teensy problem that keeps her from really meeting nice guys. Meena can see the future- more specifically, she can see how people die. Since this tends to be a mood killer as well as the main reason her previous relationships all failed, Meena's just about given up on romance when she meets the mysterious & handsome Lucien. Not only does he save her from certain destruction, but he's also the one person whose future she can't read. Because he's already dead. 
 I have to admit, I was dreading reading this as much as I was anxious to read it. Like I said, Cabot's books are always entertaining reads for me, but I was a little apprehensive about her jumping on the vampire bandwagon that everyone else seems to be going for. Rest assured, this is a good book. What makes it even better are the little jabs at the vampire fad, some of which had me giggling a little. 
 I like the characters & I liked how Cabot made them flawed. Meena's a somewhat stereotypical heroine & under anyone else's care she probably wouldn't have been anything out of the ordinary, yet Cabot manages to give Meena a good personality that makes me actually want to continue to read about her. Lucien is suitably handsome & brooding, but it is the minor characters that really make this book sparkle. My personal favorites were Meena's nosy next door neighbors- I loved their interactions with all of the characters & with each other. 
 I do believe that Insatiable is going to be part of a series or a trilogy, at least judging from the information that I gleaned from the internet & the book's open ended conclusion. I have to admit, I'm curious to read the next book. I can't say too much without ruining the plot, but Meena has quite a few options open for her if she wants to follow them & I really can't predict which way she'll go- which is a good thing. I like to be surprised. 
 If you've liked Meg Cabot's books so far, you'll like this one. If you are a fan of vampire romance, then you'll probably like it as well. It's heavier on the romance than the vampire stuff, so if you want tons of action you are better off looking elsewhere. Plus if you are a parent wondering if this is good for your teen, you will want to read it first to ensure that it is acceptable for them. There's not anything terribly objectionable here, all things considering, but I know that what is objectionable varies by parent. 
 This won't be replacing the Heather Wells books as my favorite Cabot series, but it is one that I will end up collecting as they are released.
