Yes, that happens in the book. She saves his life, she thinks it's funny he has a normal name, and she likes that she isn't bombarded with his thoughts. And that was interesting to me. I really, really liked the beginning.

Then it sort of went off in a direction of yay! I can have amazing sex with a vampire! I would have been far more intrigued if the book had ventured more into exploring getting to know such an elusive character. But instead they just had a lot of sex, had issues, and she had guys hit on her.

Also, of course, the plot focused on a crazy guy going around strangling women and having sex with their dead bodies.

*sigh*
