I liked this book. I look forward to reading the rest in the series (which now has book 4 probably coming out next year). This was the second book by Molly Harper and her humor and wit is the same in both, but that is not a bad thing. The humor and sarcasm found in Molly Harper's writing is refreshing. Nothing is taken too seriously which is good in a genre that can sometimes be very dark and brooding. 
 I thought Jane was a good heroine. She maybe was thrown off by her circumstances, but she made the best of what her new life would be and didn't really complain too much throughout the book which would have gotten old quickly. I did also find myself laughing out loud at some of her comebacks. Humor is very difficult to write and I really have to give Molly Harper credit for that. What sounds funny in your own head may not transfer to the page well, and even if it does it still may not appeal to everyone, so humor is always a risk. 
 I thought that the whole "relationship" (in quotes because I don't know if I would call it that at this point) with Gabriel was abrupt. I mean we don't really get much page time with him before Jane is killed. Their time at the bar is glossed over initially only to be picked up later in a flask back, but still there wasn't that much detail there to make we like him. Then all of a sudden he's her sire and has some undescribable attraction to Jane and feels very protective of her. I guess I just found it weird because there was no build up to these emotions. They were just there one moment. He was also a very stiff character. We didn't really get to learn much about him, I guess that's to say Jane doesn't learn much about him since we are hearing the story from Jane's perspective. I hope that she / we discover more in upcoming books. 
 I liked Zeb a lot. I liked that Jane's best friend was a boy something that you don't see very much in stories. I was sad that we came in towards the end of their friendship. I don't mean the end the end, but we came in at a crossroads in both of their lives. Jane turns into a vampire and Zeb meets a woman (a werewolf) and is getting married. I wanted to see more of their friendship I guess before all their major life changes happened. But I guess that's not the point, we came into the story where we did and we get to see the results. I just hope that the get to keep their friendship close in the upcoming books because it was really one of my favorite things. 
 Dick was a great characters and a good foil to Gabriel. I am looking forward to what may or may not come from his and Jane's friendship. I also liked Jane's Aunt Jettie and her Dad for the fact that they were the only family members who weren't trying to take advantage of her in some way, shape, or form. I found her mother, sister, and grandmother really annoying and meddlesome. I could do without them in the other stories although I don't think that will happen. But I guess Molly Harper did a good job of writing them because I'm pretty sure they were meant to be annoying. 
 The mystery of the whole story was clever. I can't really say that it was the main focus of the story, that would have to go to Jane's being turned / her adjustment to being turned, but it was nice to throw it in there enabling us to get some more information on the workings of the vampire world. I basically knew what Jane was being targeted for, but I didn't really figure out who until Jane started speculating. 
 This was a good start to a series and I look forward to reading the rest of Jane's adventures. Until Then!
