As some people said in reviews from before, I have watched the Vampire Knights manga/anime, so the day class + night class thing is pretty familiar to me. Taste is a pretty average paranormal book aside from the flesh-eater/zombie thing. Demitri is a typical bad-ass love interest with smoldering hot looks. Luka is just the other love interest who is interested in the protagonist. Pretty average here. What was different was the fact that these flesh-eaters have a kind of medieval life with all the dynasties and kings. Demitri reminded me a bit of Dimitri from Vampire Academy. Don't ask why. Luka, with his looks and personality (a bit), reminds me of Hanabusa from Vampire Knights. It was a fresh take on flesh-eaters. It was a great read. :)
