If Seeing is Believing - - I Cant Wait for More
I am so happy that I took the chance and purchased "A Girls Guide to Vampires" as Ive never read any previous novels by Katie MacAlister. This novel was not only a good read, it is filled with humor, mystery, danger and to top it off, its a wonderful love story - and it simply offers a little of everything to the reader. The characters, Joy, Raphael, Christian and Roxy jumped off the pages in living color into my world and my heart. You truly care about what happens to each of them. The characters in this novel demonstrate exactly how much they are willing to sacrifice for love. The only problem I had with this novel, "was Joy really was Christians "Beloved""? I say this because the feelings she initially had towards Raphael were the emotions evoked by Christian but since she saw Raphael first and not Christian those feelings were directed towards Raphael and she ended up with him and not the man she was destined to be with. I know she had a choice and although I loved Joy and Raphael together, I still feel a deep sadness for Christian as he was amazing and a true gentlemen but I still sort of wished it was he who ended up with Joy regardless of her being damned as foretold my Miranda. The characters in this novel demonstrate exactly how much they are willing to sacrifice for love. Regardless of how the story ends, it was still a sensational one that you dont want to miss out on. I loved this novel and also the author who has done an excellent job with this particular work. In closing, I guess well find out more about Christian with the continuation "Sex and the Single Vampire". If you havent had the opportunity to read Katie MacAlister take a chance as this author is definitely going places.

Just A Fun Book
If youre a fan of vampire romantic fiction, youll enjoy this one. The basic premise is that our heroine, Joy, is accompanying her friend Roxy on a trip to the Czech Republic to try to visit a reclusive author of romantic vampire fiction and to explore whether or not vampires do exist. Joy is a disbeliever but she doesnt want Roxy to do this on her own, so she agrees to go along. Naturally, Joy is the one the vampire takes an interest in. In her acknowledgements Ms. MacAlister thanks Christine Feehan, so its not surprising that the reclusive authors vampires have a marked tongue-in-cheek resemblance to Feehans Carpathians, including the inclusion of a series of steps to soulmate-hood. If you like Feehans books, youll enjoy Roxys obsession with the Rules of the Dark Ones.This book was just so funny in sections that I laughed out loud. The heroine wasnt a petite little thing (a wonderful change of pace); the hero was mysterious and sexy; the setting was a nice change of pace - a GothFest in the Czech Republic; and the secondary characters were fleshed out enough to make them interesting and relevant. All and all, it was just a fun book and I enjoyed it.

Not so good...
I like vampire romances, but could live without this series. The Roxy chick is about as annoying as they get,I would abandon her in a foreign country in a heartbeat. The story drags on and two-thirds through the book I had enough and skimmed to the end. I read the second book in this series first. It was a little better than this one, but once again I skimmed through to the end.
