I'm just glad I didn't pay anything for it. The vampire mythology has a few differences that are mildly interesting, but it wasn't enough to get me to read the whole book. If you love the Twilight series and want to read more like it, and you're not overly particular about spelling and grammar, or depth and subtlety in writing, you'll probably enjoy this. Also, I really should have stopped right away when I realized this was a story about a girl in love with a vampire, with whom she shares some indescribable connection, AND the vampire sucks blood out of animals instead of people because he's such a good guy, AND he has superhuman strength and unimaginably good looks, AND daylight/garlic/crosses don't bother him, AND he and his friends have to protect her from other vampires who aren't such good guys. That may be hard to believe for some, but trust me on this. Set in London, this is a Twilight wannabe, except not as well written. At that point I skipped to the end and read it just to satisfy my curiosity.
