Review title: Focus
Product review: Frankly, I normally like books that are part of a series, but this one just had way too many references to what may have been other books in a series about this vampire clan...and set ups for future books. Umpteen backstories that had nothing to do with the plot of this book. Rather than wanting to buy the other books, it just scared me off. And using the same jokes over and over...ghoulish...girlish. Enough! And then with all these backstories, there are references to things that happened to the main characters that are just jumped over. It will mention when something or other happened, but never described the actual thing happening. Dump the backstories and focus! Could have been a good story if the author had focused, but instead I found myself thinking that the book was just way too long.
