Product Description
Sick of hearing about vampires? So is Meena Harper.
Meena Harper is familiar with the supernatural. After all, she knows how you're going to die (Not that you're going to believe her. No one ever does.)
But not even Meena's precognition can prepare her for Lucien Antonescu—who she meets and then makes the mistake of falling in love with—a modern-day prince with a bit of a dark side for which an ancient society of vampire hunters would prefer to see him dead.
The problem is Lucien's already dead. Maybe that's why he's the first guy Meena's ever met with whom she could imagine herself having a future. See, while Meena's always been able to see everyone else's destiny, she's never been able look into her own. Lucien seems to be everything Meena has ever dreamed of in a boyfriend, though he might turn out to be more of a nightmare.
So now would be a good time for Meena to start learning to predict her own future . . . if she has one.

Why Meg Cabot? Why?,
By JLA RIGBY "jlarigby" (Kitchener, ON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Insatiable (Hardcover)
Why Meg Cabot? Why? Why did you jump on the "vampire" bandwagon?Giving this book 3 stars in my opinion is being generous. It's not that "Insatiable" is a bad read, but I'm not saying it's a good read either. Meg Cabot's classic style is present in this book and you do get to love her characters like you do in all her other novels but it just seemed forced. I liked that she used historical facts for some of the premise and back story but it just wasn't at all what I was expecting. I would much rather have paid double or triple the price to read another "Queen of Babble" installment or another "Heather Wells" Mystery...or something new and fresh from the mind of Meg Cabot. "Insatiable" has some great characters but they have simply been placed in the wrong story. Ms. Cabot...stick to what you are known for! Don't cave to the masses or your publishers! Leave the vampires for other authors, and keep writing what you are known for! I for one will be patiently waiting.

Courtesy of Teens Read Too,
By TeensReadToo "Eat. Drink. Read. Be Merrier." (All Over the US & Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Insatiable (Hardcover)
Meena hates vampires. They're ruining her life.First, they invade her work. Meena doesn't get the promotion to head writer she's been hoping to achieve. Then they announce the popular daytime drama will be adding a vampire storyline to compete with its major competition. Second, there's a serial killer on the loose, leaving dead female bodies drained of their blood in the various parks of New York City. Third, Meena goes out to walk her dog, Jack Bauer, in the middle of the night. She's attacked by numerous bats, but protected by a mysterious man. She almost thinks she dreamed this late night incident. Fourth, she starts dating this man after meeting him again at a party, only to discover he's a vampire prince - ruler of all vampires. She discovers the truth about her boyfriend after a member of Palatine, Alaric Wolf, comes to warn her and worm his whereabouts out of her. She refuses to give up his location, even when she realizes that he IS the prince of darkness. Lucien, despite his family history, seems to love Meena and wants to protect her. However, Alaric Wolf can't stand by and let that happen. He's determined to rescue Meena if it's the last thing he does. When she puts everything together, Meena's seriously annoyed, but with a vampire war looming, which side will she end up on? I LOVED this book. Meena is sweet with a wicked sense or humor, snarky, and feisty. Plus, she has a secret where she can see how people are going to die. Her vampire romance is sexy and sweet. Lucien's one part charming and one part dangerous. Wolf is amusing. Meena's vampire neighbors are hilarious - always causing a ruckus in the vampire world, all in the name of matchmaking. All in all, it's a charming, sexy read full of romance, danger, protective men, and one kick-butt heroine. While this is an adult novel, I think some older teens will naturally gravitate towards it because it's Meg Cabot - and also vampires! Reviewed by: Jennifer Rummel

This review is from: Insatiable (Hardcover)
after all the twilight, true blood, etc. mania, it was nice to come across a book that treated the vampire/human relation realistically. recommend to anyone who is tired of cheesy vampire love stories.
