OK, I'll spill. It was Dark Prince by Christine Feehan. It's the first of her Carpathian novels. I guess there are a lot more. Seriously, I don't know how people can get through eight or nine books written like that. I only made it to page 35 and wanted to claw my eyes out. No way I was going to make it through 350+ more of the same.
There was an interesting discussion about the differences between paranormal romance and urban fantasy some time last week (or maybe the week before), but now I can't remember whether it was on Dear Author or Smart Bitches. But I'm not really into tattooed ass-kickers, so NONE of those books are the sort of thing I'd be likely to pick up. Is it just me, or do 90% of those book covers look the same?

Thank God it costs me very little to self-pub....
