Insatiable by Meg Cabot


Insatiable is a huge let down. It is not as lovely at Cabot's usual work. This particular novel is unsatisfying.

The characters are disappointingly ordinary and lame. It is nearly impossible to connect to the characters. If, I was not such a huge fan of Cabot's I would not have finished this book.

The story drags on for ages and then picks up after 200 pages or so but not enough to fully satisfy this reader.

I recommend that you pass on this book and read Cabot's older ones.


Grade: F


Synopsis
(B&N)
Sick of hearing about vampires? So is Meena Harper.

But her bosses are making her write about them anyway, even though Meena doesn't believe in them.

Not that Meena isn't familiar with the supernatural. See, Meena Harper knows how you're going to die. (Not that you're going to believe her. No one ever does.)

But not even Meena's precognition can prepare her for what happens when she meets—then makes the mistake of falling in love with—Lucien Antonescu, a modern-day prince with a bit of a dark side. It's a dark side a lot of people, like an ancient society of vampire hunters, would prefer to see him dead for.

The problem is, Lucien's already dead. Maybe that's why he's the first guy Meena's ever met whom she could see herself having a future with. See, while Meena's always been able to see everyone else's future, she's never been able look into her own.

And while Lucien seems like everything Meena has ever dreamed of in a boyfriend, he might turn out to be more like a nightmare.

Now might be a good time for Meena to start learning to predict her own future…

If she even has one.

I've never read a book by Cabot before but I thought this sounded neat. Sorry it turned out to be a disappointment :(

Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman

Incidents Around the House is the spookiest novel I have read this year. I don't spook easily but creepy kids freak me out. Bela is only...
