I would characterize this book as Nora Roberts meets Twilight. To some, that puts this book at the top of their "to-read" list and for others, right into the "not worthy of my time" pile. I'd say I'm somewhere in the middle. This is the story of a young woman from a storied line of witches going back to Salem and beyond who falls in love with an impossibly handsome vampire -- in the Bodleian Library at Oxford, no less. Complicating matters is the fact that she does not want to acknowledge her witchiness, and the fact that vampires and witches have been forbidden by the Congregation to associate, much less fall in love. There were some interesting twists and it was an entertaining read, I suppose. It did bother me (as it always does in these situations) that the end of the book (#1 of a trilogy) is not a conclusion, but a lead-in to the next volume in the series. I may go back and see what happens to Diana and Matthew. But there are miles of books to read before I sleep.
