Search - A Girl's Guide to Vampires (Dark Ones, Bk 1)

Stupid. So far, I've read only a couple of books by this author and they are just "ok" - some better than others, but the real downfall of the series is that its basically the same story over and over again. Really silly trying-too-hard-to-be-funny dialogue...but hey, that's just my opinion.

Want to see the funny vampire novel done decently? Try Mary Janice Davidson's Undead and Unwed series (just the first few, they get weaker as they go) or Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire Series.

I really enjoy Katie Macalister's books. If you are looking for a vampire romance, this is not it. There are plenty of steamy scenes and a great romance... it's just not with the vampire. It's more a mistery of trying to figure out who is a vampire.

it started out slow, but by the middle you are hooked. it's a good book.

A very good book. Took me a few pages to get into it but it caught my attention after that.

A decent book if you love more Romance than darkness. SOme of the writing was a bit cheesy, but if you are a true romance lover, this should be right up your alley.

I love this book! It is well written and had me laughing out loud at the lead characters in the story. I couldn't put it down, and it keeps you guessing until the last 3 or 4 pages, and even then you aren't sure you know how it will end!

Found a new favorite author with this book. Funny, sexy, mystery everything good.
Great book!!

This is the best vampire book I've read yet. Made me laugh at loud :)

Cute, fun read

MacAlister walks a very thin line here between sassy chick-lit and uberdramatic vampire erotica. Most of the time, she does a good job with this tale of two Oregon librarians looking for love in all the fanged places…

Just before their trip to the Czech Republic to attend Goth-Fest, best friends Joy & Roxy decide to ask "The Goddess" for a little help in finding their true loves. Unfortunately for Joy, what she winds up with is a creepy premonition about a dark & dangerous stranger. At first she doesn't believe in the premonitions or in vampires at all, but as the visions get stronger and more detailed she becomes convinced there might be something to them. Who's making her see these visions? Is it the sexy and strong Raphael? The gorgeous but reserved, Christian? Or someone else all together?

The first thing I have to point out is that the back of the book has basically nothing to do with the book, so don't use it in your judgment to read it or not. Despite that fact that the book wasn't quite what I expected, I really enjoyed the read. It was some light, mindless fun with sexy, sizzling romance thrown in for good measure. I found the main character (Joy) likable and very funny. I would have liked to see a little more character development, however. I do definitely intend to continue with the rest of the series.

A good read. Vampires? Are they real? Read on.

very goog

Great book light read and funny!

pretty funny

Another fabulous book by MacAlister! What more is to say? Read this book!

Angela :o)

Good storyline, likeable characters. I enjoyed this one.

Very funny and sexy. The first of her vampire books.

First in the vampire series.

Excellent! From the back: Trust your eyes. You know the handsome, annoyingly arrogant, self-assured man in the shadows with the long hair and the cleft in his chin? He's your vampire.
