Meh. Another Candace Bushnell-type novel. This one's about Claudia, a career- and self-absorbed New Yorker, name-dropping the trendy NYC restaurants and shoe brands. Claudia's sisters and best friend were more interesting than her and their subplots were what kept me reading the book. And the Hollywood movie ending seemed unrealistic.

The book started out strong but bogged down for me in the middle. It took me longer than usual to finish this one. I felt that the reveal of Quinn's personal tragedy came a bit early in the book. I did enjoy the setting and will keep reading the series. If trying this author for the first time, I'd start with the Cold Creek books or her Amish series. Her earlier standalone titles were excellent too!

Interesting premise, but fell a little bit flat. My spouse started reading this one and couldn't get past the first couple of chapters. It does pick up if you stick with it. I just finished the second book in the series (X Rated Bloodsuckers) and enjoyed it much more. Maybe it was the addition of the sidekick in the second book (Coyote) that gave Felix someone to play against and add humor to the story.
