The protagonist is the most stuck-up Mary Sue I've ever met in fiction (I've met worse IRL)

WHY DID I START READING P.C. AND KRISTIN CAST'S HOUSE OF NIGHT NOVELS?!

Did someone tell me that they were good? Did I read somewhere that they were good? Is it just because the spines face the register at the bookstore? WHO DID THIS TO ME?

I've been mentally composing a Post of Fail for book one for the past three days, but....I WILL PROBABLY KEEP READING IT IF ONLY SO THAT I DON'T PROGRESS AND READ ECLIPSE AND BREAKING DAWN INSTEAD.

This post is amazing. I don't think I've ever read any of these novels or even picked them up, but... thanks for taking one for the team!

DON'T DO IT, the skanky race issues are getting at least two paragraphs whenever I make my post.

MY ONLY HOPE is that the point of the series is that the protagonist because less of a self-centered jerk as time goes on, as character growth. WE WILL SEE.

LULZ BECAUSE YOU CONFUSED HER WITH PC H______

Like me, the crack of VAMPIRE HIGH SCHOOL was too much to resist. (Though I just got the first book used and let in languish in the backlog.)

I feel you should satisfy your cheesy teen vampire romance needs with Vampire Diaries instead. Just have alcohol available for the first few episodes, and ignore the stupid opening monologue.

I'll be sticking with these for at least a book or two more and see what happens, but I will add that shiz to my list.

(As an alternative to alcohol, i will rewatch with you and provide snark, which isthe method that allowed me to watch the first two eps. Also, everytime Stefan looms behind Elena and stares at her intently, think "Baby Boreaniz!" in your head.)
