Header PromotionReal Vampires Get Lucky by Gerry Bartlett
Amazon's description: When a female loan shark named Lucky is attacked and left for dead, vampire Glory St. Clair turns her into one of the undead to save her––but eternity would have been safer without her. Vamps prefer a low profile, and that’s not Lucky’s style. She prefers to flaunt her sexy rock-star ex-boyfriend and great shoes. Trouble is, her flamboyant behavior is not only drawing every vampire hunter within miles— it’s bringing her would-be killer out of hiding, too.
The above description isn't entirely accurate. But I'll let you figure out which parts aren't as dire as they seem. lol
All in all, I enjoyed this book. Glory and her friends were as fun as ever. Her boyfriend of 400+ years, Jeremiah Blade, is feaured more prominently (which I'm glad of, as he's yummy.) There was a new man introduced into Glory's life who I really wanted to like but somehow couldn't, though. Maybe it's my devotion to monogomy and the sexiness that is Blade. Or maybe I'm just not that into newly made vamps who run hot and cold. (been there, done that--not with a vamp, but with a man. It's not fun being on the receiving end of such mixed messages, I gotta tell ya! lol)
Lucky, not so fond of, either. I think the story would have been more fun without her. lol
The "who donnit" was rather anti-clamatic. There was no build up, no real active search for the would-be killer, and while the person behind it is a little surprising once revealed, there wasn't any drama or close calls at all to any of it. Unlike the first two novels, it kind of meandered pleasantly along with a lot of hot sex, witty dialogue and such, but no high drama. Hopefully, this novel is a set-up for the next one due in January.
And if, in the meantime, someone stakes Lucky, I wouldn't cry. hehehehe
