My big problem is that the vampires, etc. always seem to be madly, well, oversexed. I guess that's normal in a romance with lusty men, but sometimes you wonder how they ever get around to the blood-draining (maybe it doesn't take too long?) or world-saving.
I think it's a problem with a series that if you are going to sell your main characters as being madly in love with each other/desperately drawn to each other in one, it's going to be a bit of a problem when you move them on. It probably works better with older people for some reason (for me at any rate). People can fall in and out of love at astonishing rates but you would imagine that at some point all the passion would be tiring and you'd like a rest. Plus it does make you doubt the sincerity of passion it is a bit short-lived. Better just to have them just sleeping with people in that case, IMO, rather than having deep relationships.
