It's hard for her to manage her ability most days since people don't generally like it if you try to tell them when they're going to die. She goes out of her way to save people by giving them "advice," thus hoping to help them thwart Death and prolong their lives. Anyway.) Meena isn't mean-a, in fact, she's anything but. Is it too cute to pick a name like Meena for the heroine in a vampire novel? Almost, though it did constantly remind me of "Mean-a Irina" from season six (?) of Project Runway. (This would explain why we didn't get to eat our dinner last night until 8 pm.)
Once I sat down with it today, Insatiable grabbed my attention and held on for dear life. Well, I can tell you that it was, indeed, me, and not the book. I was worried at first as it took me a while to get into it my life hadn't allowed me much time to read in the past few days since I started Insatiable and I hoped that it was me, not the book. Insatiable has it all: a love triangle, vampires, vampire hunters, a soap opera, and haute couture. I just was just in the mood for big girl books at the time. Don't get me wrong - I'm a BIG fan of YA fiction.
I saw The Princess Diaries and didn't feel like reading the books. I also read and thoroughly enjoyed She Went All the Way awhile back but was slightly discouraged by the proliferation of series YA in her backlist. Insatiable isn't my first Meg Cabot, you know. I plan on raiding my local public library for her other titles on Monday. I finished Insatiable early yesterday evening and was so caught up in her style of writing that I whipped out Every Boy's Got One and promptly devoured it. Now might be a good time for Meena to start learning to predict her own future…įirst off, can I just say that I think I'm in love with Meg Cabot. See, while Meena's always been able to see everyone else's future, she's never been able look into her own.Īnd while Lucien seems like everything Meena has ever dreamed of in a boyfriend, he might turn out to be more like a nightmare. Maybe that's why he's the first guy Meena's ever met whom she could see herself having a future with. It's a dark side a lot of people, like an ancient society of vampire hunters, would prefer to see him dead for. No one ever does.)īut not even Meena's precognition can prepare her for what happens when she meets-then makes the mistake of falling in love with-Lucien Antonescu, a modern-day prince with a bit of a dark side. See, Meena Harper knows how you're going to die. Not that Meena isn't familiar with the supernatural. Sick of hearing about vampires? So is Meena Harper.īut her bosses are making her write about them anyway, even though Meena doesn't believe in them.
