Yes! I really enjoyed it. It went really fast compared to Age of Innocence so I think it was okay that I started late. SPOILERS!!! I really like Zara and was totally not expecting the blood sucking/licking thing to come from the pixie family. Being an ex Tinkerbell fan I was expecting something a bit lighter. I really liked the whole "were" thing too. I would not have thought of other "were" animals - but I would like to be a "were" guinea pig because everyone loves those and no pixies would try and suck my blood. LOL. I hope there is a sequel where her weakened father (He Who Must Not Be Named Style) breaks free from the the utensil fortress and follows her to college. Joking aside - the Twilight similarities are totally there right down to the broken limb and hospital stay but the story was written in a different tone I think. Zara is much more sarcastic and her outlook on the plot issues seemed less bleak then Bella's take on her life endangering situation.
One thing I thought was weird was the kind of "incest"y vibe I was getting when we found who her dad was - (the author reassures us that both charaters think that's weird and disgusting) but I was worried for a minute that her Dad wanted her to be his teen Queen. bleh!
I really liked it and would not mind reading one of these kind of books again for sure.
PS> I have the Age of Innocence on DVD if anyone wants to watch it - let me know and I will Fed-ex to you.
Kisses,
M

We are one on this one. I agreed with everything you said. Especially the incest thing. It got a little creepy there for a few minutes. I do wonder about a sequel. Maybe he really loves the Mom and has been lovesick all these years. I think it would be possible for the story to continue.
