I don't do actual reviews for the books I haven't read: this is just a brief explanation about why I gave up on this, just past the first two chapters.Raylene is an absolute bore.The book is written in first-person and in these first chapters there are so few spoken parts that I feel like I'm reading a journal or a chronicle. That's not what I look for in a novel.Everything is overly detailed and overly descripted. It takes five pages for Raylene to subdue an intruder in her warehouse, just because she feels the overwhelming need to name most of the useless stuff that litters the place and because, of course, every four or five sentences she has to tell us what an astute and badass vampire she is.I'm sorry honey, I'm sure there are lots of people out there who will appreciate you, but you're not doing anything for me.Loved the cover, though.
