Meg Cabot was born on February 1, 1967, during the Chinese astrological year of the Fire Horse, a notoriously unlucky sign. Librarian note: AKA Jenny Carroll (1-800-Where-R-You series), AKA Patricia Cabot (historical romance novels). Now might be a good time for Meena to start learning to predict her own future.
See, while Meena’s always been able to see everyone else’s future, she’s never been able look into her own.Īnd while Lucien seems like everything Meena has ever dreamed of in a boyfriend, he might turn out to be more like a nightmare. Maybe that’s why he’s the first guy Meena’s ever met that she could see herself having a future with. It's a dark side a lot of people, like an ancient society of vampire-hunters, would prefer to see him dead for. (Not that you’re going to believe her no one ever does.)īut not even Meena’s precognition can prepare her for what happens when she meets-then makes the mistake of falling in love with-Lucien Antonescu, a modern-day prince with a bit of a dark side. See, Meena Harper knows how you’re going to die. Not that Meena isn’t familiar with the supernatural. Cabot is less concerned with creating a convincing family tree for Lucien than with creating sparks between her characters, who feel pleasantly natural even as they live alongside the vampires next door.Sick of hearing about vampires? So is Meena Harper.īut her bosses are making her write about them anyway, even though Meena doesn’t believe in them. Unfortunately for Alaric, Meena is a little in love with Lucien.
(Lucien happens to be the son of Vlad the Impaler, whom Bram Stoker gave such a bad rep.) Lucien's opposition: Alaric Wulf, a sympathetic detective from the Palatine Guard, who hopes to use Meena and her prophetic gift to stop the murders and track down Lucien. Enter Lucien Antonescu, a sexy, melancholic Romanian history professor/vampire who recognizes that the murders are the work of rogue vampires who have broken away from his order. And just as Insatiable is switching to a vampire theme to attract a younger demographic, a spate of chilling murders-by-exsanguination grips New York City. TV writer Meena Harper creates fabulous plots for Insatiable, the second-highest–rated soap opera, thanks to her burdensome if lucrative psychic ability to see into the future and determine how people are going to die. Cabot (Princess Diaries) winningly applies her trademark likably fallible protagonists and breezy storytelling to a vampire war in New York City.
