Meg Cabot is back on top of her game. I was extremely disappointed after reading Abandon and I to admit, Meg and vampires? Not her too! But I'm very pleased to say that I enjoyed Insatiable thoroughly. Trust Meg Cabot to put her signature fun and entertaining twist to vampires. 
 Meena Harper is your typical Meg heroine. She's loveable, mostly innocent, has a somewhat less-than-satisfactory life. She's trying to do better at her work, but they've recently gotten her to write about vampires, a topic she can't stand at all. Oh, and she has the ability to predict people's death. But then, she meets Lucien Antonescu, a modern-day prince with a bit of a dark side . . . a dark side a lot of people, like an ancient society of vampire-hunters, would prefer to see him dead for, because well, he's a vampire. What's a girl going to do? 
 I love Meena because she's so familiar to all the other heroines Meg writes. She has a good heart but life doesn't always go her way. Meena is sort of different because she can really hold her own, especially in battle. She may whine a little but when it comes down to it, she's no damsel-in-distress. 
 Now, Lucien, swoon! Call me a hypocrite, but Lucien is just the vampire to swoon for, even if the whole book's message is about not falling in love with vampires. Lucien's very much an old soul, he's like one of those conflicted male characters with a tragic past; it just so happens that he's a vampire. He's very protective of Meena as well, but to a certain extent and only when it's appropriatel. He's quite the romantic too. I dare say, he's better than Edward! *gasps* XD 
 Insatiable is a well-rounded novel with fleshed-out characters and background. There's the Vatican involved, a vampire-hunting organization and vampires all over the place. It's a rich and textured world and I can't wait to come back to it in Overbite. XD Well done, Meg Cabot, well done!
