Vampire Pron (Book 35)

My reading has slowed down dramatically in the last month or so and it's because the list of books that I'm currently reading has grown exponentially (this one always kills me) and I hit a roadblock book.  You know, the type that isn't so bad that you give up but you just can't quite get into it, so you do just about anything other than reading. I guess that I'm far too stubborn and typically refuse to give up. Luckily, I finally finished the book earlier this week.

Halfway to the Grave (Book 1) - Jeaniene Frost

So, like I said, I didn't hate this book, but I also can't really say that I loved it. The reviews on Amazon and Shelfari were fantastic, so I think that I was expecting more. The characters were interesting enough, but it always felt like everything (every description, plot twist, etc.) just took too long and went on forever. Maybe I just wasn't in the right frame of mind because normally I totally eat up these cheesy vampire novels. Also, growing up I taunted my sister often for her love of smutty, romance novels and all I could think while reading it was how the literary mighty has fallen. Needless to say that I probably won't be finishing out the series. Ironically, I still didn't totally hate it. If it came out as a movie, I think the story might even be pretty interesting.

Anyway, reading roadblock happily cleared and I am now lost in the crazy, cracked out, lost land of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Most of last night, I had nightmares about bad trips with lots of lizard people and bats. Thank you, Hunter S Thompson.
