Insatiable is a modern-day twist on Bram Stoker’s iconic gothic story of Dracula.Īs a huge fan of vampires (for like half my life), I extremely enjoyed the jokes and references to the popular vampire shows and books during the height of the trend back in the 2010s sprinkled throughout Insatiable. Thoroughly entertaining story! Laugh out loud scenes, especially it gets meta – which is really cool! Nostalgic reflection of teenage me – and how ridiculous I was loving them.Ĭracks me up! Reads like a satire to any vampire- or supernatural-lover who was caught up in that trend as we can absolutely relate to the ridiculous obsession with the sexy, brooding vampires pursuing forbidden loves romanticized on scene and in books. Plot – Based Off Some Real Historical Facts The tie-in to Dracula and the historical myth/lore of vampires is amazing!! I loved it so much! More than I enjoyed the Twilight series, Vampire Diaries, or True Blood.Ĭabot takes from Dracula, Vlad Tepes, Vatican, St. George and Joan of Arc history to build the world and origins of Insatiable’s vampires.

The fact that there was a historical and literary basis that Cabot used as the foundation to her vampires made the story that much more intriguing! Love me a story that was researched well. A New York Times bestseller! “Don’t miss this dazzling tour de force.”-Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal winning author of The One and Only Ivan
