I was a little worried about this book. I am sick of vampire stuff all over the place and was a little upset that one of my favorite authors was jumping on that bandwagon. When I read the synopsis, I thought it sounded a little ridiculous. But I was very pleasantly surprised by the book. True to Meg Cabot form, I loved the book. It made fun of all the vampire hype, but still managed to make a good story out of it. I have only read one of the Twilight books, but seen all the movies, and you can see the comparisons and the fact that she is making fun of Twilight.
I liked it because it was different from other Meg Cabot books, it had action, romance, humor, sarcasm, and more. It's also a quick read and one that's hard to put down.
If it's a series, I am excited to read the next one, if not, I'm happy where it ended (I think).

It's been a while since I've read a vampy book but this one was a bit refreshing. I liked that the female character hated the vampire cliche (misogynistic monsters as she called them) and I think she did a good job not falling into that cliche. There was a good about of humor and personality.

After reading "Insatiable" for a second time I have to wonder if Cabot didn't model her book to mirror the soap opera(s) for which the main character so lovingly writes for. This book is FILLED to the brim with stupidity. The characters... and I'm talking pretty much ALL of them lose their brains at the first sight of action or plot development -- making for a very hard book to read in my opinion. Let's talk about the love interests: In the great age of love triangles neither the vampire nor vampire hunter present themselves as being great options for the Meena Harper of this story. The "love" that unfolds happens over the course of 1-5 days (round about that) and frankly, both men are selfish and manipulative. The premise is actually fun and the drama/ meat of the story bears some consideration of reading, but as far as dialogue and character development, find those kicks elsewhere.

I love Meg Cabot. She does such a wonderful job writing smart, funny, interesting books with likable characters and great pacing. There’s nothing earth-shattering or deep about her books, but they are warm and comforting and just make you feel good. This book sets you up nicely for a whole vampire series but is great as a stand-alone, too - no cliffhanger!! Meena, the main character, is smart and feisty and has a cool ability, so you can totally see why everyone is in love with her, which is so different than many other heroines in these types of books. Great side characters, a couple solid love interests, a secret vampire-hunting organization - what else do you need?

This took awhile to get exciting due to all the character narration switches but I really liked Meena and her choice at the end. It showed her strength and didn't play into the typical vampire romance as of late.

This book is either a satire of the genre that doesn’t quite hit the mark, or a genuine attempt that fails painfully.

I really enjoyed this. It seems like it was written as a response to the Twilight books, as if someone dared Cabot to take the premise of those books (oddly beautiful human girl falls in love with super hunky dangerous vampire in a ridiculously short amount of time) and then challenged her to make it awesome instead of super lame. If such a challenge took place, Cabot succeeded. This book was funny, well-plotted, and full of endearing and mostly believable characters. Meena Harper, our leading lady, is awesome in every single way that Bella Swan is not. Cabot's plucky female leads are all cut from the same cloth, which is pink, fairly stylish, and surprisingly strong. I look forward to reading the sequel.
