Title: I really wanted to like it, but...
Review: I just didn't. The constant puns and pop culture referneces were annoying by the fifth page. By the 300th page I had a headache from clenching my jaw. But the bigger sin, for me, was the utterly unlikeable "hero." He was a flat-out b@&%!$d. He was insufferably arrogant and cruel to our Miss Van Helsing and had absolutely no redeeming qualities. He was described in great detail as breathtakingly handsome, but nothing makes up for his selfish nastiness. And this wasn't just a case of Alpha male or vampire sensibilities; the guy was just a jerk. I kept hoping and hoping our heroine would just leave --- walk out and find a new book to star in!
