See, that's the thing -- Harris gives many a tongue-in-cheek nod to Anne Rice. And obviously vampires were not original at all even when Rice began writing about them. But Harris was the first to do a romance novel/chick lit interpretation, and had some originality in her humor and approach. But the twilight books/movies are so derivative it makes me cringe, even being aware I'm in an overpopulated genre that's played out to begin with.
