~3.75 Stars~
This book was.
Well, it's a little hard to explain. I finished it hours ago, and I'm still not quite sure how, exactly, I feel about it. It's satire of the paranormal romance genre, and in that aspect it does definitely succeed - though I didn't really find it funny until 'Hayden' showed up. I did appreciate the not-so-subtle digs at paranormal romance in the first part, though.
I did really enjoy this book. It was entertaining, and it was fast, and it was everything it promised to be. Everything that I would have problems with... was done on purpose, and that was pretty great. The writing itself was good; there was no awkward phrasing to pull me out of the story, I got what was going on and what important things looked like, and it did its job well.
Overall, this is a fun book to just pick up and enjoy one afternoon, when you're sick of dumb books pretending to be serious and want to read something making fun of the paranormal romance genre.
