2011 book 181

Meg Cabot's Insatiable
I enjoyed those other books by Cabot that I read recently, so figured I'd check out her non-YA vampire series, whcih focuses on a woman who writes for a soap opera called Insatiable. She's not just a writer, though, she's got a psychic power that lets her see how people will die. Then of course she meets a vampire, who's not just any vampire, but the PRINCE OF VAMPIRES!! And even though the character constantly rails against the whole vampire trend and its lame heroines, she does fall into some of the tropes herself--like Cabot has them fall in love instantly--but she's at least more interesting than most chicks from paranormal romances, with a great dog, an entertaining best friend, and an unemployed but likable brother. There's also an interesting vampire hunter character with his own job-related drama and some very funny writing, so I do think it's worth a read. B+.
