Vacation Books...Insatiable by Meg Cabot

One of my favorite spots on the cruise ship was a comfy chair next to a big window:
I was able to use some of the free time while at sea to catch up on some reading and finished two books.

The first one I read was Insatiable by Meg Cabot.  The quick synopsis is that Meena Harper is a young single writer (for a soap opera) and has the "gift" of being able to see how people will die (not so much fun).  The powers that be at her TV show want to take the show in a new direction with a storyline about vampires... surprise.... at this point some real vampires make their way into the storyline of the book.  Meena of course falls in love with the leader of all of the vampires and much action/romance/melodrama ensues.  With murdered girls being found in the city --- vampire hunters enter the plot and a sort of battle moves the story forward.  I actually would have like to see more exploration of the relationship between Meena and Alaric (vampire hunter).  This was a good book to read on vacation... it was fast paced and I generally like Meg Cabot's writing.  In the end though I didn't love the characters (which I usually do with Cabot books) and in turn didn't love the book.  If you want to read a Meg Cabot book with supernatural aspects I would recommend the Mediator Series which I really enjoyed (it's a teen series but I read it as an adult).
