She, of course, has no idea what he’s talking about and believes she’s finally about to meet her own death at the hands of a crazy man who’s ranting about vampires. The two share a wonderful night together and Meena is on cloud nine until a very large, very intimidating German man breaks into her home, wielding a sword and asking her to divulge the location of the prince of darkness. His mission is interrupted, however, when he meets a remarkable woman who starts to warm his non-beating heart. Since his death, Lucien has imposed new rules, which include keeping their existence a secret. Lucien’s father, Vlad Tepes, was a cruel leader and brought great harm to the species with his indiscretion. The prince of darkness has come from Romania to investigate who among his kind is committing these crimes and deal with the perpetrator. Young girls are being discovered in parks, drained of their blood. There have been a rash of murders in New York.

Meena has no idea that the reason she can’t see how Lucien Antonescu will die is because he’s already dead or that her prince is actually the prince of darkness. After she learns that he’s a real-life prince, she’s completely smitten. So, when she comes across a dashing man who rescues her from a bat attack one night and she can’t foresee his inevitable death, she figures she’s hit the jackpot. It’s also heartbreaking when she tries to help people avoid their deaths but they won’t listen to her. This has greatly affected her life, driving away boyfriends and causing her to be something of a recluse. But she has a telepathic gift that is more of a curse: She is able to see how someone will die.

While the premise of the story is rather familiar, and it’s getting a bit old to see more and more authors jump on the bandwagon, the book is well-written and I’m still interested in continuing the series.Īs a writer for the popular and long-running soap opera, Insatiable, Meena Harper has a life that many would envy. Insatiable is the first book of a new vampire series by Meg Cabot. Another author has been seduced by creatures of the night.
