Here is the blurb from Amazon, which is also the text on the back flap:
"Living in small town Rockabill, Maine, Jane True always knew she didn't quite fit in with so-called normal society. During her nightly, clandestine swim in the freezing winter ocean, a grisly find leads Jane to startling revelations about her heritage: she is only half-human.
Now, Jane must enter a world filled with supernatural creatures alternatively terrifying, beautiful, and deadly- all of which perfectly describe her new "friend," Ryu, a gorgeous and powerful vampire.
It is a world where nothing can be taken for granted: a dog can heal with a lick; spirits bag your groceries; and whatever you do, never-ever-rub the genie's lamp.
If you loveSookie Stackhouse, then you'll want to dive into Nicole Peeler's enchanting debut novel."

I finally finished this. I am not a fast reader this year... It seems as if every writer that can hold a pen at the moment is writing Urban Fantasy. You never know, it could be another Sookie Stackhouse or Twilight.
It was ok. The author is trying a little too hard to make the heroine witty and an entertaining smartarse. The funny silent dialogue was applied so thickly and annoyed me so much in the first 2 chapters or so, that I nearly tossed the book. But it got less pronounced, so I kept going. The supernatural beings are not the usual fare and even the heroine had something new to offer. I will put the second book on my wishlist, although I am not rushing out to get it just yet.

It's on the TBR stack for now, probably to be traded via Paperbackswap once read.
