** spoiler alert ** 
 I really really enjoyed this book, although I personally had a hard time with the male lead's name Bones, I much preferred his original name Crispin (The name Bones makes me think unerringly of Temperance Brennan from 'Bones' on tv). Bones was quite a character though, and he rather reminded me of Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer in his speech, though that could be in large part because they are both british, and blond haired with a fondness for black, though Bones wears a jean jacket and not a trenchcoat. 
 Cat was an interesting character, and I rather liked the interaction between her and Bones. This was a paranormal romance that had all the classic vampire slayer staples without it feeling exactly like something I had read before. I really liked it, and will likely be reading the rest of the series. In fact, I just now put holds on them all at my local library. 
 Reading other people's comments on this book, I do have to note that I also hated Cat's parents and her grandparents for being so prejudiced. I sort of loved Timmie though, and I'm sad that he won't know what happened to Cat, or that the men in black are real. 
 I really hated the ending along with everyone else, but I know Bones will be back (and not just because I read the book summaries for books 2 and 3).
