I refuse to read the book on an ethical basis. The series was written by someone who has no appreciation of horror and has never read horror or seen a horror movie (because they're either too gross or they frighten her). I'm old school vampire, they rip your throat out and turn you into dinner, maybe tear the still beating heart out of your chest and drain the blood out of that for good measure. Vampires ideally don't have emotions, they're the animated dead, but if they must have emotions they're only supposed to be predatory not love sick
