SUCKER BET is my favorite yet in this series!

Sucker Bet by Erin McCarthy is the 4th book in her Vegas Vampires series.  I am a big Erin McCarthy fan and have read all her other books.  I am not really into Vampire stories, but I always enjoy Erin's books.  The story is about Gwenna Carrick, Ethan's sister and Roberto's ex-wife.  She is a vampire.   Nate is human and a detective in Las Vegas.  They solve a mystery together.   Very se

Book 11

I thought this book was kinda cute.  It was a quick and easy, silly read.  I definitely can imagine vampires blending in very easily in Las Vegas.  Vegas doesn't get moving til the sun goes down anyway.

A terrific anthology, to be honest - and an even better surprise because I wasn't expecting much. (Oct 2, 2007 Berkley Trade).
