Touch the Dark by Karen Chance

3.0

Vampire novels seem to be filling the fantasy shelves these days. It's hard to walk into a book store without stumbling over half a dozen. Not all vamp novels are created equal however. Touch The Dark isn't bad but it's not one of the shining stars either. The main character tends to drift along through much of the book and the ambiguity of the other characters can be annoying. The one character I liked turned out to be a traitor and thus I was thoroughly disgusted with the book by the end. The premise is interesting but the characters feel rather wooden for the most part and the many of the situations feel contrived. Plus the whole story line with Cassie and one of the older vamps is really squicky. Really, really. Ugh. The sex scenes weren't as tastefully handled as I prefer in the novels I read and overall I found this book a disappointment. I won't be reading any others in the series.
