Insatiable

I've read this book just this week. I soo love the story because it's all about vampires and it's so romantic.

I love the story but then I am shocked that it doesn't have a happy ending. The Hero and the Heroine aren't together at the last part.

I am hoping that Meg Cabot will do a part 2 of the book. :))

Oh, Meg Cabot, I like you so much, but I did not like this book. None of the characters had any spark (except maybe Meena's next-door neighbor, who was at least amusing). If vampirism is supposed to be a metaphor for something here, it's really confused and I can't figure it out. Both of the main dudes are creepy, but in different ways. (Also, “chafing” is not a sexy word, even when describing the aftermath of, you know, sex.) I wanted to like this one, but I just couldn't.

There are many things about Insatiable that I loved ... Jax being my number one. He's arrogant and cocky, but he has every reason to be. He's good looking, is mega successful, and has moves that would make my grandma swoon. I kid. The guy could knock your panties off with just a hot breath on your shoulder and you'd have no idea WTF just hit you or where the hell your undies disappeared to. Best of all, he's a decent guy. He's not a game player, you know what you're getting. He's respectful, even if he does screw a lot. He's not going to make you a promise and leave you hanging. He's a ladies man, with no intention of settling down, but he's not a douche.


Lizzie is sweet. She has no idea that she's a sex kitten waiting to be unleashed. I loved that she took her red hot encounter with Jax and decided to remake herself. She knew what she felt with him was something she wanted to feel with any man. It's what's she been missing with her douchey ex boyfriend, Brody the wet blanket. While she did show some shyness and self-doubt, they didn't last long once Jax got a hold of her.

I appreciated that Lizzie grew sexually, and that Jax grew emotionally throughout this first part of Insatiable. I loved that neither of them fought their connection, they just went with it. I loved the witty banter between the two of them and how comfortable they felt with each other. Jax showed his true colors when he didn't hesitate to come to her rescue when he saw she needed it. Best of all.. this arrangement between Jax and Lizzie just felt right. Their dialogue felt natural, the way their relationship progressed felt like I was watching a real couple without even knowing it. I didn't question the why, I was too sucked into the story and their connection.

I absolutely adored the friendship Jax has with his best friend, Luce. She's a firecracker and I loved that she didn't let Jax get away with anything. She tells him just how it is, and he respects her enough to allow it. She keeps him grounded... and with an ego as big as Jax's, he needs that.

I can't begin to tell you how much I am DYING to read Insatiable 2. Because that ending... Yeah. I didn't see it coming, which shocks me. I need more, JD Hawkins!
