Aren't vampires supposed to be predators instead of prey?  That's what I got out of the books so far.  I haven't finished all the books, yet.  The main characters are such goody, goody people/vampires...it starts to get annoying to me. They get caught, than torture and almost dying in the process, and the H/h runs and hide.  Come on do something about it.  Instead the H/h thinks if we do something they're going to think the worst of us, pay attention...the villains already think that way that's why they are being hunted.  The H/h should at least try to intimidate them so they could be left alone, if they are not going to kill anyone.
