Definitely muy sexxy ;) The mystery/chase part of the story wasn't as developed as it could have been, but you got the feeling that it was all just background to the important action, which is the relationship building between Elena and Raphael. Definitely intriguing in the questions it raises about the nature of immortality and the consequences thereof. Loved Elena, and adored Raphael's tough-guy act when you could totally see through it most of the time. Definitely very sexy, and good buildup for the sequel. :)
