Look, if you're going to write about a heroine who's supposed to be a scientist, 
 please make sure that her thought process is rational, at the very least 
 . No amount of term dropping would convince me that she's smart if she acts like a bloody dimwit most of the time. Seriously. What self-respecting scientist would believe in vampires in the first place? 
 She knew that vampires, shape-shifters and other creatures of the night existed, even though her coworkers on the quantum physics side of the equation had not been privy to the truth. 
 And oh, let's not forget this part, a sterling example of how fucking rational our Jane here is: 
 If Nicolai's story was true, he was as trapped by those chains as surely as she had once been trapped by her body's infirmities. 
 So let's get this straight. Jane keeps on dreaming about having sex with a vampire named Nicolai. Then, she finds a suspicious book and reads it. She starts having visions of Nicolai while reading the book. Ergo, Nicolai must be real??????????? 
 Holy shit, that's some awesome deduction, Einstein! Amazing! You're a fucking genius!!!!!! 
 As if it wasn't bad enough that we have her as a heroine, look at what we have for our hero: 
 The real Odette was dead. He'd made sure of it. He had drained her, stabbed her, then shoved her over the cliffs outside this palace. Excessively violent, perhaps, but an enemy was an enemy, and his temper had been roused. 
 Isn't he just dreamy? 
 Hahaha. 
 Haha. 
 Ha.
