I read that one, but it didn't work that well for me.
Here's a brief review I wrote at the time:
Well written, and I enjoyed seeing lesbians as part of the story, but it didn't work for me overall. Parts of the plot just didn't make much sense - maybe I missed something, but the whole vampire/elf wedding seemed to have no real purpose and I really don't believe that making one group of vampires and elves break their own rules meant an end to all vampires and elves everywhere. (and I felt that the reader had no way of guessing what those rules were beforehand - I'm familiar with changeling myths, but I've never read that the one left by the elves had to be the son of a leader, nor that he HAD to die, just that it was a sickly creature and likely to die.)
