I think book is interesting for historical reasons. It is an early paranormal romance book and I think it shows the line between romance and paranormal romance very well.
That being said, I was really disappointed with it. It was waaaay too much like just a generic romance novel for me. I like a little sex with in my story, as opposed to this book which had just a little story with all the sex (stuff).
The writing was also incredibly bad, with loads of repetition and inconsistent plot points.
Probably the most jarring was that it had a lot of story elements that were never really introduced. This certainly didnt feel like a first book in a series to me.
On the front of the book it clearly states under the title: the first dark-hunter novel. Yet GoodReads is listing this as number two.
All in all rather confusing and disappointing, but really a good historical reference.
