American Vampire by Jennifer Armintrout (Terra's Review)

Buried in the Heartland is a town that no one enters or leaves. Graf McDonald somehow becomes its first visitor in more than five years…and he was only looking for a good party. Unfortunately, Penance, Ohio, is not that place. And after having been isolated for so long, they do not like strangers at all.

Jessa's the only one to even remotely trust him, and she's desperate for the kind of protection that only a vampire like Graf can provide. Supplies are low, the locals are ornery for a sacrifice and there's a monster more powerful than Graf lurking in the woods. New men are hard to come by in this lonesome town, and this handsome stranger might be Jessa's only hope for salvation.

Even if she has to die first…

(Terra's Thoughts) I had a very hard time getting through this one. I felt the characters are just not really all that believable and the amount of whinning just about drove me crazy. A bit to far out there for me.

I have read other books by Jennifer Armintrout and liked them so this was a complete and utter surprise to say the least. I think this is about as much as I will say on the subject other than give it a try. What I like and what you like are two different things and you should not take the opinion of one person as gospel.
