It was the first time that that ever happened to me. I always finish the books I buy, myabe I was a lucky reader until that point..
I'd say so. I've lost track of the number of books I've returned to the library half-read, and I don't usually buy books unless I've already read them or like the author previously.
Actually, out of disgust at Twilight, I wrote a rec post for vampire books with actually scary vampires:

to which I would add The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher and the Kitty Norville series as supernatural without vamps. (Although Butcher's work does have a couple vampires.)
