Surprisingly fun and light reading, with proper 3rd-person-limited POV that doesn't spill the beans on the thoughts of every single character in the room. I expected crap since it was a popular romance novel; I expected horrendous smut since it is a romance novel on which True Blood was based on, but no. At least in this volume, any bedroom scenes were brief and not very detailed, yay! Quite pleasantly surprised, and will look out for the rest of the series.
