Insatiable: a mediocre novel about vampires. Honestly, I was expecting a lot more than I got. In this case, I truly believe Meg Cabot should have stuck to YA fiction. She tried coming from an angle of the protagonist not liking vampires, hating the world’s desire to read vampire material, and yet she falls for the head vampire. The plot was ridiculous. Ridiculous piled upon ridiculous. At one point, probably three quarters to the end of the novel, I lost the desire to continue reading. It just wasn’t even worth it. Even fiction has a point that you don’t cross. The main character was interesting enough. But she was the only character I enjoyed. Again, ridiculous just piled upon ridiculous. Honestly, there are better books to read. I don’t recommend it. I’ll read the second, but if it’s not promising, I’ll stop quickly and I urge you to do the same.
If you’re into “dark” fiction, I recommend The Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko (first in a trio – i think. he might have made more). It’s honestly the best “dark” fiction I’ve read. And even just to lovers of the supernatural or fantasy, it’s a great novel. I s’posse I should write a review on that soon as well.
Disappointed,
