Review - Insatiable by Meg Cabot

William Morrow, 451p, Isbn-0061735086

Despite a talent for predicting people’s death, Meena Harper doesn’t believe in the supernatural. Forget vampires in real life…she doesn’t even like them invading the reel life of soap opera Insatiable, for which she’s a dialogue writer. 

And then at a neighbor’s party, she meets and is instantly smitten by the intensely gorgeous and charming Lucien Antonescu, who seems to return her interest in him. Little does Meena know that this modern-day prince has a very dark side to him, one that will rip away all her illusions and defenses. Question is will she survive it?

I’d frankly grown sick of books starring vampires but was persuaded to pick up this one as Cabot has a knack for taking a tired plot and enlivening it with her particular fun and sizzling brand of adventure and romance.

And I’m glad I did as “Insatiable” fulfilled all my expectations and more! It is truly one of the best stories I’ve read so far this year.
