I cant even believe that I wrote cliche, as I usually would say trope, or reference or inspiration. saying cliche vampire romance I referred to the trope (I think already saw it in other comments) of a human girl (using girl deliberately) being exposed (with all that follows, like discovering her special abilities, many times reduced to being incarnation or doppelganger) to the vampire world by a guy much older and powerfull than her. Hauf IMO explores different trope which is vampire/werewolf dichotomy, isnt she? The trope of human girl vs. much older vampire is present since Dracula (and Nosferatu the Vampire movie till recently to TVD) and there are many examples. Also fun fact I came across a TVD fanfiction, where human Caroline Forbes goes from small town to NYC and ends up working for vampire family Mikkaelson. ;-) You can imagine how that goes... Hamptons parties with Klaus, Rebecca and Marcel.... BB is defnitely not very bad, it could be written smoother (I can't forgive them the "you can satisfy me in different way scene", like it had a potential to be written so good) and it has nice stuff for people interested in vampires (another trope - deconstructing myths about vampires, also very common) in. Plus personally I tend to replay it to get to the NYC walk part, actually PB does amazing job in referencing actual places and historic facts.... when I. get some time I will fo the blog on NYC in BB...)
