This book started off good. I really wanted to like it. But then it just fell flat. The historical details are great. But then nothing happens. There is mostly just a lot of sitting around in a house talking. About halfway through it got boring and never picked up again. The main character, Diana, she was supposed to be really independent and strong, but her character changed into being completely dependent on Matthew and completely accepting of his 'being the leader of the pack' and basically accepting whatever he says goes. Of course she rebelled by always walking to him when he told her to stay away, but that happened way too often in the book, and just annoyed me. We get it, hes a vampire and shes not afraid of him.
