Simple Summary: Meena hates the whole vampire hype, but falls for the visiting prince vamp, Lucien. Lucien is there because there has been a killing spree of human girls all over the city. Add Alaric, the studly vampire hunter, into the mix and let the love triangle ring!

Rating: ★★★★☆

My Review: Although not up to Cabot’s normal par, I really enjoyed this book. I know there’s an obsession with vamps in all forms of media lately, but with a charming mix of the supernatural, romance and a little suspense, you are going to want to read this book.

Split between the three main characters Meena, Alaric, and Lucien you’re going to get all sides of the story which, for some, will leave out a lot of the mystery. The climax being the most disappointing. Because Meena is psychic and knows what’s going to happen, so does the reader. Cabot attempted at alluding subtly to the dangers, but could have done better. Still, I loved it!

For those of you who were hoping for a series with Insatiable, you will be happy to learn that Cabot sets up the ending to definitely have a follow-up. If that isn’t the case, however, then this book leaves readers severely disgruntled and confused.

Fun Fact: Cabot has a TON of fun extras on her site you can check out after (or before… but that might ruin some of the book) you read Insatiable!
