No you can't, and no he doesn't.

This is so Sookie Stackhouse! I gave in to reading the books & watching the show after several of my friends raved about both. I don't understand the raves, but I've been sucked in by hoping that Sookie will figure out that vampires = bad relationship choice no matter how "sweet" they try to act.
I adored Anne Rice's books when I was in college & I'm a huge fan of the Buffyverse, but I can't stand Twilight - it & the copycats have really turned me off from vampire books. The same thing happens with many genres though - one hit and suddenly the market is drowning in knock-off books. It makes me thankful that I've found Mobileread & some great reviews & recommendations here to help weed out the junk - especially since it would appear I can no longer count on my aforementioned friends recommendations!
