Any Given Doomsday by Lori Handeland

Sad to say, this piece of trash is typical of popular fiction. It's just the quest plot, rehashed - young person holds the fate of the world in their hands. She has special powers, of course, and has to be trained. One of her mentors is even dead. Sound like Luke Skywalker? or Harry Potter? Add vampires and magic.

It's a formula book. I can see the author thinking, "what can I write that will appeal to female readers, a real hip crowd?" And she comes up with a sarcastic, snarky female protagonist, that can save the world if only she has sex with enough hunky men. What crap. I'm actually sorry I read it.
