Kerrelyn Sparks introduces readers to a demon world that is curiously parallel to the human world. There are vampire cable channels that feature talks shows, soap operas and celebrity magazine called "Live! With the Undead". But as a human female crosses boundaries into this new reality, the results can be dangerous and hilarious...
Good story, funny vampire universe, but very close-minded human hunters in this one. I can never understand when characters in books will think that ALL *insert species or ethnicity here* are bad. There are good and bad people everywhere, but that's not an excuse to want to get rid of ALL people belonging to one group.
I loved Shanna, and felt very bad for Roman, he's had to deal with his guilt for so very long.
Shanna's father is the very close-minded hunter, who thinks that Shanna is strong enough to join his team who are not able to be mind-controlled by vampires, but he still feels that Roman must have somehow been able to control her anyway, since she loves him and wants to marry him... double standard is his middle name.
I think there's good groundwork for a good series, and I look forward to reading more Love at Stake books.
