Generally I liked the idea of this book. I a sucker for kick-ass heroines. The beginning wasn't convincing at all, but the book got a bit better from that. I listened this book as an audiobook, and the narrator really made this book better. 
 What I didn't like was the undercurrent of uncomfortable lesbian attraction. Well, no I didn't sound right. I didn't like Ivy. I didn't like how she stalks Rachel. And why the hell Rachel doesn't move out. She's so damn naive, and a bit homophobic. I hate this kind of relationship in heterosexual pairs as well, and the seductive vampire routine doesn't do it for me anymore. 
 Don't get me wrong, I'm open-minded and I personally I think everyone can love whomever they want and have sex with whomever they want (as long as everyone participating is a consenting adult and a human) and be open about it, but I thought in this book it was a bit hypocrite. And why does this (view spoiler)[Rachel live with an vampire who can snap at anytime and rip her throat out? Or brainwash her as her living blood donor/sex slave? Why does she claim she's an heterosexual when she obviously lusts after her roommate? (hide spoiler)] I would not mind this lust thing as much but It's playing a huge part beneath the surface in this book. And no actual smut either, even though the insert so claims. 
 Also, Rachel is really dumb and makes stupid choices. 
 I started the next installment but I don't think I can finish it... I just can't stand the scenes with Ivy. This showed little promise, but the author wrecked it, that's why this book get's 1,5 stars from me.
