But here's the summary and cover from publisher William Morrow.
Now we'd heard Meg Cabot was planning to sink her teeth into vampire lit for her next adult novel Insatiable for a modern-day take on Dracula. But somehow I was a little bit disappointed by the second half of the story as it seemed to be a little scattered and predictable. Loved the first half of the story, where the tension started to build up and the relationship between Meena and Lucien raised questions about the possibility of a vampire-human romance and how it came to be a threat to her loved ones. But his mission is not without obstruction as Alaric Wulf, who works for the Palatine Guard, thinks that Lucien is behind all of it. When a series of vampire killings strike New York, Lucien leaves his teaching job and hometown behind, determined to stop the carnageĪnd find the culprit before another woman is killed. Lucien Antonescu, a 500-year-old vampire, is more than just a bloodsucking machine - he's the son of Dracula and the new Prince of Darkness. But she has the supernatural ability to see the demise of people around her and Meena goes all the way to prevent these events from happening - until she meets a young immigrant woman whose incoming death becomes the igniting factor of the story. To others, Meena comes across as a normal woman dealing with the messed- up realities of her life. It narrates the story of Meena Harper, a dialogue writer for a soap opera called Insatiable, who subsequently finds herself in a series of frustrating events - losing her well-deserved promotion, compromising the storyline to meet the demands of sponsorship, and having to deal with her next-door neighbour trying to fix her up with a new man. At first glance, it probably might seem like another soapy romantic story of a depressed vampire boy meeting an ordinary human girl but Insatiable goes beyond that. With the plethora of paranormal (vampire) fiction, it's hard to find one that has the elements of mystic, romance and originality - but Meg Cabot has hit the spot.
