I was gifted this book as part of Harper Collins' #firstinbestread programme at the beginning of the year. It is not a book I would ever choose to read. 

That said, I actually enjoyed this book much more than I expected to. I almost didn't make it past the first two chapters because Lou was such a DOORMAT. I understand her motivations and I know many people are like her, but it drives me insane and if I were her sister, I would have tried harder to shake her out of it. Kelly redeemed Lou quite early on though as she dumped all the vampires in her life to take a trip with her sister to find her birth father. 

It was very satisfying for me to read her giving the figurative finger to those who had trampled all over her for so long, especially her bosses and her mum. 

 While I'm glad I got pulled out of my comfort zone. It did, however, reinforce my choice not to read this genre. At the end, I felt entertained, but also that I would rather have spent the time reading something else. If you like contemporary female stories with lots of drama, like a day-time tv series, you will enjoy this. Kelly writes well, which helped pull me along and her characters are loveable, even the terrible ones.
