While the concept sounded good, a vampire themed restaurant with vampires and werewolves and a love triangle but it ends up being somewhat of a letdown, for me at least. I didn't see that Quincie was falling in love with the vampire, interested, a little attracted but not really falling for her. The reason the vampire is attracted to her didn't really come through and it all seemed to be a bit "must try harder" to me.

Some of the details were a bit interesting, like the concept of a vampire themed restaurant caught my interest. However the menu was kinda sparse and the descriptions fell a bit flat.

It's not the worst thing I've read but I have no real urge to hunt up the sequel.
