They are awesome! I own all three books...although I just left book three in Savannah (on purpose mind you). Funny, logical, good reasoning...not at all Twilight-y or anything. There's a reasonable explanation for everything IN the books plus you've got good music and a kick ass main character. I also like her reasoning for the way the vampires act--they "fade" after being a vampire for an amount of time and can't learn new things...so they become stuck in a rut and get like OCD tendencies...its kinda cool.
