Insatiable written by Meg Cabot Since every other YA author has made their opinion heard on the trend in YA vampire novels...Meg Cabot decided to join the trend, responding not with a line or two on the subject, but with a whole new book series. I don't want to bore you all with the never ending T-word comparisons, but yes , they exist, and no, Meg, the ending of the book doesn't really make up for it.

Although, I haven't read Dracula, so I'm not as educated as I should be about the background behind this book. It does appear to fall into many of the...
