Even when she was reading non-dialogue, she does it in sort of a snarky, sarcastic tone. I echo other reviewers who have been extremely annoyed with the narrator's rendition of the various voices. The character development was weak, the arc of the plot was dull, and, even for an UF novel, some things were too fantastic (she's a super powerful novice vamp? her roommate is a super-powerful sorceress but doesn't even know it? she's offered the spot of 'consort' and sentinel right off the bat?). The dialogue was immature, unnecessarily snarky, and quite frankly it sounded like the author was trying to hard. Basically, it's catty girls and arrogant guys playing dress-up in a Chicago-based fraternity/sorority system. Found this, and since it was on sale, decided to give it a shot. Spoilers ahead: I was looking for something new after the last fabulous Jeaniene Frost book. Is it the rogue vampire who bit me? A vamp from a rival House? An angry mob bearing torches? My initiation into Chicago's nightlife may be the first skirmish in a war-and there will be blood. But my burgeoning powers (all of a sudden, I'm surprisingly handy with some serious weaponry), an inconvenient sunlight allergy, and Ethan's attitude are the least of my concerns.

Of course, as a tall, green-eyed, four-hundred-year-old vampire, he has centuries' worth of charm, but unfortunately he expects my gratitude-and servitude.

Now I've traded sweating over my thesis for learning to fit in at a Hyde Park mansion full of vamps loyal to Ethan 'Lord o' the Manor' Sullivan. Turns out my savior was the master vampire of Cadogan House. But he only got a sip before he was scared away by another bloodsucker.and this one decided that the best way to save my life was to make me the walking undead. I was doing fine until Chicago's vampires announced their existence to the world-and then a rogue vampire attacked me. Sure, the life of a graduate student wasn't exactly glamorous, but it was mine.
