I like how this book seems to be poking fun at all vampire archetypes. Anything that pokes fun at any archetypes is okay in my book. Heck, or anything that challenges completely changes the way we look at old archetypes. Say, for instance, why these vampires are different, or – like in this example – “why does everyone have a huge freaking crush on all these vampire hotties? Chyu.”

Which, btw @7, is why Twilight was so popular. Meyers challenged the previously known archetypes that Dracula (and all other related novels) set.

So… the tweet-up was yesterday at six? I’m confused. I don’t do Twitter (or Facebook for that matter), but confusing is confusing nonetheless.
