I got this while looking for "something new." Vampire books seem to have taken on a new life with Twilight and other books -- this is definitely *NOT* a Twilight rip-off! There is some sex, some violence, and the characters are all relate-able at some level. These vampires don't get all "sparkly" in the sun, they poof into flames! But, they also are muscled and deadly.

The Black Dagger Brotherhood is a protection group within the vampires, so they see a lot of action. They have a corresponding group in humankind that they are in constant conflict with. Like any good book, you don't have just "good" or "evil" in a character (well, maybe a few), but some gray in each to make them interesting.

A good, unique take on the vampire mythos; some attributes taken from the typical Dracula story, but some unique twists. I couldn't wait to keep reading it, now on to book 2!
