I get what you're saying but I disagree with the conclusion - vampires may see humas as prey because they, more than other TI, feed from them and need them to survive but that's the difference - most TI see humans as a side snack and when they're done, the human is dead. For vampires, humas are like... cows =D, they should be interested in keeping them around, alive. Not really a prey. Domestic animals.

There's nothing inherently wrong with short chapters but this is too much - instead of one tense scene, we get to see... depending on where you start counting, one very important scene was broken into 5 POVs (Vicky, Angie, Grimshaw, Julian, Ilia) that actually overlapped (!!) and switched places and why would someone do this?!

Oh no, the main human is being left alone, the doors are locked, the intuit has a bad feeling, nothing bad could possibly happen when she knows it's coming, right?? I've seen this one before and it's not any more interesting the second time around.

This is the kind of book where the main character is told to "get over herself" and I agree with the sentiment. She is a good main character by several standards but like Meg, she can be a bit too...

WHAT is the point of the "enemie's" POVs??? What?!? You only get to hear their nasty thoughts and language about everyone you like, you get information that spoil any surprise or plot twist they might have caused and when they no longer serve their purpose, you can "see" them get punished, which, being a normal human being, I don't enjoy, the punishment being brutal and usually fatal.

And this!!! What is THIS??? Why are they protecting "the bad humas"?? Risking their lives and their relationship with TI??? This makes no sense.

Here's what bothers me about the setup of not just this book but the whole series/world: the bad guys come with all their human guns and laws and nastiness - Terra Indigene swat them and they are dead. Problem solved. But of course that would make the book last 3 not 13 hours so they make elaborate zig-zigaing that raises my blood pressure until someone can swat them dead. Why? WHY?! There are better ways to do this.

A bit random thought but I feel weirdly proud to know DOA means dead on arrival. English is my second (third?) language and while I think I am fluent, knowing these extra special words like SAC or COD (yes, I read detective/mystery) feels a bit special, like I am moving onto a level beyond a learner or student.

FAST FOOD!!!! LOL. That's a good one. I might be possible damaged by the series to think this is funny but it is.

Ok, but now I have a new standart for describing hot man. Who cares about jawlines and shoulders? Make men into ice cream! =D Or pizza? Or a tall stack of... panckaes. Now that's a describtion of a man I can get behind, LOL.
