Insatiable by Meg Cabot

InsatiableInsatiable
Synopsis
Meena is having a bad week. She didn't get the promotion she wanted, bills are piling up, she is invited to her annoying neighbor's dinner party, and she has forseen yet another person's death. Then, as she heads out to walk her neurotic dog, Jack Bauer, she is attacked by bats. However, she is saved by a handsome, mysterious man. The best part? She doesn't see a death for him. She knows there is some mystery about him, but can she fight her growing attraction for him?


Review
I stayed up until 3am finishing this book last night. Meg Cabot's books are always fun to read and her pacing keeps the pages turning. I really enjoyed Meena's unusual problems, and while it feels there were a lot of issues that weren't resolved, I have to keep reminding myself that the book takes place over a very short period of time. Plus, while I don't really understand Meena's particular issues with Lucian at the end of the book, it did feel like she was setting up for a series. Meena was a great heroine, feisty and confused, and her supporting cast are pretty entertaining as well.

Recommendation
If you enjoy vampire stories that aren't too cheesy, you'll enjoy this. Read it. :)

I've always enjoyed reading Meg Cabot but I haven't read anything from her in a while...just keep picking up different books.

I love Meg Cabot! I'm almost embarrassed to admit that when I saw this book on the "New" shelves, I bought it without reading the description. After reading it though, I am looking forward to a possible series from her.
