The title is intriguing, the description fascinating. Werewolves, vampires, a vampire-themed restaurant, a love triangle... sounds like a recipe for an amazing book, right?

Not so, unfortunately. TANTALIZE does not live up to its hype, and I was deeply disappointed in it. The book is a hurried jumble of underdeveloped characters and too much action. Smith's attempt to probe into the highly popular genre of paranormal romance is commendable, but not anything too special.
