Almost to Die For (Vampire Princess of St. Paul Series #1)

Almost to Die For - Tate Hallaway Uhm... I was so excited to read it and in the end so disappointed! Read my Review at the Bewitched BookwormsBasically everything was there that would make a good story: Vampires - I always love good sexy Vamp stories, Witches-oh yes throw in some magic and a girl that apparently is a Princess in between! Sounds absolutely great! It just..wasn't ... For me at least. Short onto the story. There is Ana and her mother is a witch, which should make her a witch too. Just, Ana only feels magic and could never really cast magic. She's afraid that she will never be able to be a True Witch like her mom and best friend Bea.Then one day, her father knocks on her door, telling her she's part Vampire (duh!!) and that she shall came with him because she's also a Princess. My main problem was Ana, she seemed to have no personality, I couldn't figure her truly out and honestly she just seemed flat. It hurts that I have to say this, because I really wanted to like this book badly! But everything about Ana was boring. The plot and the dialogues weren't that captivating either. I mean imagine you never knew your father, then one day he knocks on your door, telling you he's a Vamp and that he's your Dad. Would you call that stranger Dad?? Wouldn't you ask questions???? It totally bothered me that she directly jumped on the Dad-wagon... Then her mom, she never told her anything, even after her "dad" stood on the door, she totally refused to tell her daughter all about it. I mean common??? That totally sucked and even made me mad! Ana herself never knew what she wanted she never went through with something she decided which made me mad again.. she immediately trusted everyone, wasn't suspicious enough and it just doesn't felt real.So yes, the book was unfortunately a disappointment for me mainly because I couldn't connect, love and understand Ana. The plot could have been absolutely great but was just dulled by the characters. Ok no onto the good sites: I LOVED the writing style, it was light and truly truly fun. And just for the writing and the idea of the plot I'll read the next book again and give it a chance!
