I'll admit that I pretty much grabbed this one because I thought the cover was pretty.
Of course, I didn't realize that this was the second book in a series until I looked it up on Goodreads, but the story did a good enough job of explaining roughly what went on in the first book to keep me from being horrifically lost throughout.
Immortal with a Kiss was actually pretty good - better than I went in expecting it to be, based on my reasoning behind picking it up and the fact that it's a vampire book written after Twilight. The vampire lore in the story goes back to more traditional roots (Vlad Țepeș roots), and there are parts of the book that even slightly break the fourth wall to poke fun at the idea of the current popularized image of vampires.
“Companions?” Sebastian said, his voice squeaking with alarm. “Do you mean like mates?” His powdered complexion grew paler, his eyes wide with horror. “My God, they mate?”
I patted his hand. “Not in the sense we think. They cannot reproduce, you know. They are dead, Sebastian.”
* whispers *
They have no blood flow.
