Thank you all for the reviews and you're onto me with your theories, plus she won't fall for Bill…I don't even know if he will be in this story, except for being mentioned as Bill the vampire host on TV.

So since I got a lot of followers and favorites and also some reviews plus I couldn't wait to write the next chapter, here it is. I also tried Eric POV this time, because it seemed important to me. I never ever wrote a male character at all, so if it is garbage, just tell me and I'll stop with the POV switching.

And if you like my story and want to continue reading, follow, or mark as favorite. I don't know the difference right now, but so I know that a lot of people are interested in the story.

But now back to chapter 2, an extra long chapter in my opinion, but I wanted to squeeze the first night at Fangtasia in one chapter and don't split it.

ANNA POV

As I made my way over to the entrance of the bar I felt as much as excited as hesitant. I'm not the typically going to a bar girl, so I had no idea what was awaiting me inside, nor did I ever meet a real vampire before, or visit a vampire bar.

Just don't let them know how you feel I told myself holding my head up high with a serious expression on my face. The noises of my heels echoed in my ears, whilst I walked as feminine as possible towards the tall guy at the door.

If they're smart they're definitely gonna hire you. Personally I wasn't so sure about that, but just by the looks, why not?

I had my long dark blonde and slightly wavy hair still pulled back into a ponytail, because I always thought, that pulling my hair back suited my face. Speaking of my face, which consisted of pretty much clear skin, a slim nose, bright blue eyes and my full and rosy lips, which I liked best about my face.

Overall I was pretty okay with my appearance. Apart from my face, I was about 5.7 feet tall and had a curvy but not overweight figure. Well I wasn't a top model, but I liked that about myself, because my womanly hips and big boobs had gotten me some attention in the past and since I also was the proud owner of a very small waist I had nothing to complain about and my dress just highlighted my feminine features perfectly.

The place seemed crowed and a long chain of gossiping and yelling people had formed in front of the entrance.

I sighed and just waited in line, because what else could I have done? I couldn't really tell which of them vampires were and which humans, but just by their choice of clothing and how they behaved I was pretty sure almost all of these were desperate humans in need for some V, which was still used as a drug, or just some meaningless sex.

After almost five minutes I finally stood in front of the tall man who I was pretty sure was a vampire. He looked at me with a pretty much deadly expression.

I put a small smile on my face and just started talking. "I want one ticket for the evening to visit the bar…" were my words and there was still no change on the vampires face. He just nodded and something like a "Hm" had left his mouth.

I was well aware of the look he gave me, but nevertheless I was pretty much a walking dinner for him, so I shouldn't mind, right?

He scanned me for the last time and then told me to walk by, well that was easy, wasn't it?

I made a quick look over my shoulder and recognized that the crowded chain of yelling and already drunk people was still pretty much intact, before I walked towards the real entrance of the bar.

It seemed like the guy I just met was just a doorman to sort out the unwelcome customers, because now I was standing in front of a definitely beautiful, but eccentric woman. She was tall, slim, with beautiful features and long, dark blonde hair, wearing a red and black colored outfit that looked like from the early 1902s, a corsage included.

The look she gave me wasn't pretty much different when compared to the other vampire.

"Good evening" Her words startled me a little bit, or was it just her voice? I looked up immediately, not staring at her anymore and tried to put on my best smile.

"One ticket for this evening, please" I said and waited what she would respond.

"Well, dear…we don't sell tickets here, we just collect twenty dollars for entry…" she replied in her bored tone and her expression didn't change at all and she was definitely not hiding it.

"Okay, then a twenty for entry it is…" I said and opened my black clutch to find my wallet and get twenty dollars out of it. I handed her the money and she put it in her wallet without even really looking at it.

"Now your ID please" and I just obeyed and handed her my driver's license. She scanned it and her gaze wandered between my ID and me until I started to feel really uncomfortable and didn't know what to do.

"So Anastasia…23 years old…" she just said, without even asking and I nodded, even though it felt a bit strange hearing my full name out loud… "It's Anna, but yeah…I'm an adult, I just look a bit younger, than I am I think…"

"That I see. Have a fangtastic night at Fangtasia." I heard how annoyed she was with the last words, which were probably chosen by her boss because of the new hit show and started walking into the bar with a simple and polite "Thank you".

As soon as I entered the big bar room the sound of loud and modern music hit my ears, while I smelled all kinds of alcoholic beverages and a lot of smoke, as well as…blood. I couldn't quite pinpoint if it was real one, or this synthetic thing called Tru Blood, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the real deal anyway, I mean it was a vampire bar after all.

The whole interior was chosen quite carefully if you'd ask me. As the daughter of an interior designer I just had an eye for such things. Everything was colored in dark red, as well as black…pretty fitting for an establishment like this, at least in my opinion.

Something that had caught my eye from the very beginning was that the bar did not seem as modern, as most public places nowadays it pretty much seemed like nothing here changed, since the bar had first opened and that was a long time ago. Somewhere in the late 1990s if I remember correctly.

Until now I wasn't paying much attention to the folks around here, but giving them a closer look my eyes witnessed all kinds of people. Old, young, possible fangbangers, as well as family mothers, men, women, just all kind of different types, that fitted in perfectly and others not so much.

Watching my steps closely I slowly started walking through the crowd and soaked in all the different aspects of my surroundings, while I was looking for the actual bar inside of Fangtasia.

Due to the fact, that most of the people here were drunk and dancing around I bumped into a few, but nevertheless I reached the bar and slid onto a red bar stool.

Without even thinking I looked at the dark haired vampire behind the bar and asked "Do you also sell non alcoholic beverages here, like for example a cola?"

The guy gave me a strange look but nodded and soon a glass of cold and fresh cola was put in front of me. I didn't hesitate to taste it and it seemed not any different to the one you got at the store.

"So what does a pretty girl like you here at Fangtasia?" he asked and I looked at him a bit confused.

"What does that mean?" I replied with a slightly annoyed tone and looked him directly in the eyes.

"You know, you just don't seem like the typical fangbanger, that's all plus I've never seen you here before…"

"Well, that's my first time here and no, I'm no fangbanger, by no means, just a girl with a love for vampires…"

I didn't realize my words would change my whole plans for this evening, until it was already too late.

"So you're fucking vampires, huh?" he asked with a knowing expression on his face and a dirty smile, that made me cringe. I was completely in shock, how could somebody think something like that of me?

I just stared at him with no definite expression and the vampire took this as a welcoming invitation to continue with his dirty words and possibly, very possibly, dirty thoughts.

"What do you say baby. We after work behind the club, I'll even give you a 20."

I couldn't believe it and finally broke free from my frozen status. Completely angered I replied "I don't fuck vampires, not you, not anybody, not in a million years, you dirty pig!" before I slapped him across the face, slid off the stool and started walking away from the bar.

Well I shouldn't have underestimated the pride of a vampire that was at least a few hundred years old, but it seems that this was also a lesson I had to learn.

In a matter of seconds I found myself on the hard wooden floor of the bar, not even knowing what actually has happened to me. I hissed in pain and my head hurt pretty badly, while my view was still blurry.

Time was not a luxury I had and so I felt the amount of weight on my legs and had to blink a few times, before I realized, that the vampire from before had attacked me.

He was just about to sink his fangs into my neck, as I started kicking and screaming. "Get off of me you bloody bastard!" I screamed and tried to kick him off me, while digging my nails into his back and any spot I could find.

The folks surrounding us didn't seem to care until a dark but somehow smooth voice was filling the bar and suddenly everyone seemed to stop in whatever they were doing and were as quiet as possible.

"What the fuck is going on?!" were the dangerously spoken words by the male voice, that made me a bit shiver.

Within a second a tall guy was standing beside us and the vampire hovering over me crushed into a distant corner across the room, at least it sounded that way, but my head was still spinning.

"Continue!" the dark voice echoed again in my ears and vampires, as well as humans obeyed and continued, as nothing had happened.

A big white hand reached down to me to pull me on my feet and I groaned a bit in pain, but at least I was standing on solid ground again.

When I looked up to my savior I just stared at a black tank top and tilted my head a bit back to just look into the bluest eyes I've ever seen in my entire life. They were mesmerizing and I couldn't look away, just simply stare and somehow the guy across me, even though he was definitely a vampire, did the same and I wasn't sure why.

He seemed so familiar, so right, like I've known him for a long time, but I was pretty sure, that I've never met him. A guy like that would be pretty hard to forget.

ERICS POV

I was just sitting on my throne, more than bored and staring with the same blunt expression into a corner across the room. Back in the old days I was pretty eager to do my work out here in Fangtasia. I liked to embarrass pitiful guys and enjoyed all the attention that I got from the female customers, sex and blood included, but not today, or at all, not anymore.

It was over 200 years since I left Shreveport and I was just back for about a month. I was finally free from Freyda and my contract and since there was nothing left for me, except for Fangtasia and my progeny Pam, I of course came back to see if she and the bar were still intact and well it was that way.

Pam was pretty delighted to see me again and that was an understatement and so she arranged everything to get me my half of the bar back and my job of course. She actually thought it would work, I too, but nothing really seemed the same after all those years.

I found out, that Sookie had a few kids with the shifter and died after a happy and fulfilled life and her bloodline has continued to this day. I donated a big sum of money to the family, of course anonymously and sent some vampires to protect them, but still…the emptiness of my life didn't seem to wear off.

Today has been just like all the other days since I was back, until a fight had started and there were no fights allowed in my bar, nor drinking from a human without permission.

I did not care a bit, that this vampire was supposed to be our barkeeper, at least it was fun to play the alpha male again, but even that didn't feel as it used to be.

I reached down to help the girl get to her feet again. I mean we didn't want to get involved with the police, the authority, or any other annoying agency, that had to deal with such incidents.

Just when I was about to leave again, because I sure as hell wasn't interested in women at all, not for blood, nor for fucking them, I froze. She was looking up to me and her eyes seemed as blue as the ocean and in some way familiar. I couldn't tell why, but I was not able to look away. Her eyes were completely capturing me.

"Chrchrm" a very familiar and annoyed sound came to my ears and even if I didn't want to, I had to look to my right and was staring at Pam and she wasn't in a good mood…at all.

"Eric, what the fuck is wrong with you?" she hissed at me and I didn't even bother to respond.

"Pamela you will take her back to my office and I'm gonna go deal with Loui…" My words were harsh and nobody in this bar would even dare to look at us, nor talk back at me.

"Leo…" she corrected me annoyed and I just clenched my teeth, whilst my hands were formed into fists and I straightened up even more. "Pam…" I just said losing my patience and gave her a look, that she understood perfectly.

"Of course…" she said and didn't seem to mean it, but that wasn't my business at all, because I had to deal with this asshole of a barkeeper now, instead of finding out who this girl was. Not that I was interested in women, like I said before, but something about her was just… I couldn't describe it myself.

ANNA POV

The woman, whom I encountered first at the door, didn't seem to be delighted by her new assignment, but well, I wanted still a job at this bar, so I'd take any chance I get.

Before walking away I turned around and shouted "Hey Mister tall and pale" into the direction of my savior and immediately the people surrounding us stopped in everything they were doing and the human ones even held their breath. They looked completely frozen and the woman besides me, Pam, froze a bit too.

The vampire turned around and looked at me with a raised eyebrow, but I just continued. "Thanks for throwing this ass across the room. You know, I would've done it myself, but I was a bit occupied processing what kind of shitty people you're hiring. So thank's again for saving my life."

During my speech his eyebrows rose even more and after I've ended he looked at me like he'd seen a ghost.

"Sassy much little Miss I'm wearing a sundress to a bar, huh?" he replied, confident as before and I just frowned and replied "Oh you don't know even the slightest bit about me, Eric."

I didn't know where this came from, but since Bill, the host on TV, was also just called Bill by almost everybody, I figured I did just go for the first name thing based on what I saw on TV.

Pam beside me seemed to slowly loose her patience, so she grabbed my arm and dragged me away from the crowd in the direction of a big throne placed on a platform.

Eric didn't have time to say anything so I just shouted "And by the way, my name is Anna…" before he drowned in the crowd and possibly started to deal with the guy that attacked me.

The closer we got to the throne on the stage the closer we also got to a door at the right, which had a sign on it 'For staff only' and after we disappeared through it, Pam closed the door.

She didn't speak a word, until we came across a door with another sign. 'Eric's office' the sign said and within seconds I was seated on a chair across the table.

I didn't even have time to look around, but the office felt familiar as well, because maybe all offices in the whole wide world looked like that?

"So darling, now we're talking business. What exactly did you do to crash our evening?"

At first I didn't know what to answer, I mean I didn't do anything, right?

"Nothing…" I replied a little bit unsure and that I maybe should've not done, but Pam just made me feel uncomfortable.

"Nothing?" she asked in her bored tone as usual.

"Yes, I was just ordering a cola…" I ignored her chuckling. "I told the guy, that I loved vampires and then he wanted to give me a 20 for a fuck date. I mean really? What kind of establishment do you even run here?"

My anger was boiling up again and like said before I wasn't good at hiding my emotions, nor holding them back.

"Well…" she started and I could smell the annoyance in her tone from like a mile away.

"We're running a vampire bar, sweetie, so bloodsucking and fucking is something that happens on a daily basis here, but willingly of course…otherwise the authorities would close down the bar immediately."

I couldn't even respond, before she continued asking me some other questions.

"What does a girl like you even here at Fangtasia?" she asked and I tried to put a serious expression on my face and straighten up a little bit.

"Well, I read in the newspaper, that you're hiring, so I wanted to give the bar a closer look, before coming by…"

Pam looked like me as I would've just told her, that I was a unicorn.

We weren't able to continue our discussion because another person entered the room and I was pretty sure who it was.

"Who is hiring?" he asked in a curious tone I guess and Pam just replied "We are, Eric and if you would pay even the slightest attention to your job, you would know that…but well, we aren't hiring that little blonde girly here, are we?"

I truly felt offended by her words, but I decided to just watch their heated conversation from the sidelines, to maybe find out what it was that made Eric seem familiar. Just he walking into this room had made me feel more comfortable in an instant and Pam was sure as hell not even comparable to his power, so why did I not feel frightened at all?

"So you wanna work here, Anna?" Eric asked and my nod was followed by a "Yes, it would be great if you'd hire me…"

During their conversation Pam had left her seat behind the desk and now Eric was seating himself on his leather office chair and looking at me again with those hypnotizing blue eyes and curious expression.

I folded my hands in front of me on the desk and waited for a respond, but it seemed like Pam couldn't believe, that he actually deliberated about whether he should hire me or not.

She didn't keep her opinion a secret and looked at him a little bit shocked. "Eric, you can't be serious…" she said, but the vampire across the table didn't even seem to hear her words. In an instant he had grabbed my left hand and was looking closely at the ring on my finger.

"Where did you get this?!" His voice wasn't anything like before. His eyes were cold, his expression angry and his words harsh.

I had to swallow hard, but I couldn't let myself be bothered by his reaction.

"Uhm I bought it at a shop…" I explained myself and was hoping that this would be enough.

"Which shop?" he asked, still no change.

"An antique store downtown that I discovered through my mother. She works as an interior designer."

He nodded and then took Pam by the hand and left the room, leaving me behind not knowing what was actually going on.

ERICS POV

I was completely stunned and shocked at the same time. Outside of my office, I walked down the long hallway back and forth, before I hammered down my fist against the bricks of the wall.

"Eric!" Pam shouted not knowing what was going on. "What the fuck is going on with you today?!"

I couldn't explain it myself, nor did I want to, but it seemed like Pam wouldn't give up anyway.

"Pam, where did all my stuff go, that Freya did not approve of taking to her castle?" I asked her and she looked at me with a confused expression.

"I don't know" she shrugged and her tone was a bit too screechy in my opinion, but that was nothing I cared about, not right now.

"I guess, her guards through it away…"

She walked towards me with a concerned look and her words almost begging me to explain everything to her. "Eric, please, what is going on here?" she asked almost desperately.

I sighed and growled, before I started to explain it to her. "That ring, that girl, Anna, was wearing. I bought it for Sookie. I wanted to explain everything to her and ask her to marry me for real, not just the vampire marriage we had, before everything went to shit with the contract and her mistrusting me. I wanted to prove to her, that she could be happy in a relationship with me."

Pam sighed and nodded. "I suppose she really just bought it…"

"I suppose…" was my only answer, before walking back to my office, even more confused and shaken by memories of a long forgotten past, than before.

Pam actually wanted to follow me, but I stopped her and closed the door behind me, startling Anna, who was snooping around my office.

ANNAS POV

I couldn't hear a sound through this sound proof door of Eric's office. Dam it I thought to myself, but I was way too nervous to just sit around and wait, so I stood up, walked around the room and started looking at some stuff.

I didn't know why I did, what I did, normally I would never ever go through other peoples things, but I didn't feel that it was wrong to look around a bit.

Completely lost in thoughts while going through his things I didn't hear Eric come back again and totally turned around yelling in shock "Don't you knock?" which made Eric…again…stare weirdly at me.

"This is my office, Anna…so no; I do not knock at my own office door, if that was what you were asking…"

Before I was able to say anything, I mean, how stupid was that? he continued asking a much more essential question.

"I see, you made yourself quite at home here by now…" I bit my lip and knew, that he witnessed me snooping around and explained myself with the words "I just felt like figuring out for who I'd work if you hire me of course…" because Sorry has never been I word, that came very easy to me.

He walked over to his desk and set down again. "Well if I do hire you, Anna…what would be your profession?" he asked and I knew very well as what I wanted to work here, a waitress of course.

His look on the other hand did tell me something very different and I didn't know what to make of it.

I swallowed and just stared at him and he didn't dare to look away as well. I tried to breathe in and out as proper as I was able to do and tried to get every piece of my confidence back, that was still left somewhere in this room.

"I wanna work as a waitress…" I said, not even looking away for a second.

"I see…" were his words and I nodded.

Eric got up from the chair and grabbed my arm, but not as forcing as Pam and walked with me out of the office. I looked at him confused, while I tried to not stumble across my own feet. "Then I'm gonna show you around a bit."

Pam was still standing in the hallway and while passing by he told her "We found our new employee Pamela, you can take the ad down" not even caring how she reacted.

After a tour around Fangtasia and a lot of vampires as well as humans staring we finally got back to the hallway.

"So what do you think about my club, Anna?" he asked me looking down on me with his intense gaze. It almost seemed like something depended on how I liked Fangtsia.

"It's pretty amazing, except for some customers…I guess…" was my true respond and he seemed even a bit delighted by my answer. "Then you just have to pick your outfit and the most important question, when can you start?"

A big smile was plastered across my face. I really got the job, it was unbelievable and I would lie, if I'd tell, that he didn't look at me once, twice, or even a few times more, but I doubt, that Eric would hire his staff just by looks.

"Whenever you need me…" I was so excited, that I got the job that I really didn't care when I would start working here. Hopefully as soon, as possible.

"We store the different clothes and merchandise downstairs…" he explained and led the way to almost the end of the hallway, where some stairs went into the ground. Eric went first and I followed.

It was pretty dark down here, but I guess that's normal for a storage room, at least I thought it was one, until he switched on the light.

My expression must've looked priceless with my mouth open and my eyes wide; looking at the room in front of me and not sure if it was a torture chamber of the Middle Ages or a kinky sex dungeon. No matter what it was, it wasn't good.

After a few minutes I felt Erics intense stare on me…again…and slowly looked up, still unsure what to make of all this and of course, Mister tall and pale had his sexy grin on his plastered on his face.

"I don't even wanna know…" I replied to a not asked question and started to look around for the staff outfits.

I felt pretty lost down here, so I turned around and looked at the vampire. "I imagine a medium sized outfit would fit you perfectly…" he said, maybe more to himself, than me…whatever and was hovering some boxes to get to another.

"We have dresses, as well as skirts and shirts, or tops and pants…what do you chose?"

"Uhm…" I replied getting closer and taking a peek at the clothes. „I guess I'll take the pants, long and short ones and a shirt and a top, just to be sure and decide what I wear based on the weather.

He nodded and grabbed the said black clothes with the red Fangtasia logo on them, before he also grabbed some matching black stiletto heels and a black purse.

"Here we go" And soon I didn't even see Eric anymore, because I had a whole load of clothes in my arms.

"Try them on" were his only words and I didn't even see how serious he was, because the only thing I was able to see was a mountain of clothes in my arms.

"Okay…" I guess he wanted to know if these fitted me for maybe ordering another pair to change, or whatsoever.

I waited for him to leave, but nothing happened. In the meantime I had put the clothes on a box and he looked at me, like he was waiting and I at him too.

"At least turn around, if you don't wanna leave me alone in your precious torture slash sex dungeon." I sounded a bit annoyed, but well, he just raised his eyebrow again and did what I said, before I turned around too and shouted over my shoulder "And don't you dare to peek."

Ready in black pants, a black top and the matching stilettos I turned around again to only find Eric staring at me with an expression that I wasn't really able to understand completely.

"What did I just say?" I put my arms on my hips and stared at him deadly serious, which only made him walk slowly over and with every step he took towards me I took a step backwards, until feeling the boxes in my knees and falling onto them.

Biting my lip I looked up at Eric who was now standing not even half a meter away from me, looking down at me with his ice blue eyes and not moving a muscle. My heart almost jumped out of my body and I couldn't breathe. I was just staring at him and now he was slowly bending forwards until his eyes were just inches away from mine and I got a closer look into the deep pools of a pretty old vampires soul.

"And now I'm gonna fuck you here in every position possible" he aspirated into my ear, while a cold shiver was running down my spine and I swore, that I stopped breathing for a moment.

For a split second a part of me wanted to scream Yes! Wait a minute. I never even kissed a guy so I sure as hell would not have sex with a vampire in a dungeon…not in a million years, like I said before.

Way to soon he bended backwards again and reached down with his big hand to help me up, grabbed me and walked with me and my clothes upstairs again.

What the hell had just happened? I was totally confused and still not sure if my heart was beating, or I had started breathing again, but in the hallway we came across Pam and so I simply had to come back to reality.

"Since when does the great Eric Northman care about anything employee related?" she asked with a raised brow and I just had to blink twice.

"Eric Northman?" I asked with a slightly shocked expression.

"My name" he replied and turned around staring at me.

"The Eric Northman?" I asked and the two vampires in front of me seemed confused.

"As far as I'm aware there is just me…the one and only" he responded with his typical grin on his face and I stumbled a few steps backwards and grabbing a small table behind me.

"Uhm there is this book series…" I started "And there is a character named Eric Northman and since it is based on a real encounter with vampires, I suppose…"

Pam sighed annoyed. "Yeah, I'm in this crappy shit too, as well as this useless TV host Compton…"

Bill Compton? Bill from Fangtastic was that Bill? I looked even more surprised now.

"And I thought that book series was long forgotten…" Eric said with a bit of surprise in his voice.

"It is. Nobody is reading, or watching this shit anymore. They're over us, except for the real deal…" Pam replied and I shook my head. "No, I've even seen Dracula and know any halfway popular vampire fiction, that was ever out there."

Eric grabbed my arm again and walked me back into his office.

"Listen, Anna…" he started and I was again just staring at him. "These novels were written a very long time ago and not only me, but everybody in them just wants to forget about all the things that ever happened, so I don't ask for anything in return since I saved your life, just keep this novels to yourself.

I nodded and was still completely shocked, not only by our encounter in the dungeon, but also by the simple fact, that the story I knew by heart, since I was in middle school, is actually based on my new boss.

Way too soon the door opened again and Pam told Eric something in Swedish.

"Well Anna, there is an emergency out at the bar; I guess I'll see you the day after tomorrow at your first shift."

I nodded. "Yes, you won't regret hiring me."

"That I don't think for a moment" He winked at me with this look again and the words "Just let yourself out" and disappeared with Pam through the hallway.

Still completely shaken by this encounter I slowly started walking towards the back entrance of the bar. Not that anyone had told me, that there was one, but in the books it existed, so I wasn't surprised, that I really found the backdoor and as soon, as the cool air of night hit me I felt much better and clearer in my head.

I walked over to my car and leaned against the engine, closing my eyes for a moment and just inhaling the air.

I really had met Eric Northman, the guy of my dreams. I never was much interested in the humans around me. Since I always read vampire literature and watched movies and shows about them, there wasn't much of a thrill, when a boy asked me out and even nowadays, nobody I met could compare to the guy I imagined in my dreams.

I mean there are a lot of cool vampire guys in fiction, or non fiction, apparently, but hands down, I never loved any novel more, than this one, so I guess it wasn't surprising, that I had a crush on the fictional Eric Northman since middle school, right?

I was not sure what I had gotten myself into, but maybe that would explain why it all and Eric too had felt so familiar and right now I could've really slapped myself for not figuring it out earlier, but I blamed Loui, Leo…whatever for hitting my head to hard and of course Eric, for staring at me with this deep blue eyes, while I was driving home and processing all that had happened in one night, that actually started out as a plain job interview.

So that was it, the first meeting. Did you like it? Just tell me in a review and do you believe the familiar feeling just steamed from some novels she read?
