[Name Redacted]

Another of Kenyon's coworkers provided a Twilight alternative in the form of their favorite romantic Vampire book. I got through it quickly, but I rather despised it. It was written like one of those gritty "private eye" books, where the main character is emotionally distant, a tough chick (since this one was female). The pacing was cheap, a thrill-a-chapter with no growth, contrast or movement. Things didn't make sense, and I was left with the impression that the author just wrote whatever came to mind at the time. It's the first of the series, and while this one was fairly clean with just a couple bad words and the typical vampire violence, it turns out later books in the series get pretty explicit. So, this one's a no-go.
