Summary: We want more of the Reilly's!
Review: I love this book. A few pages into it, I could tell that I was reading a book much better than 90% of the sludge that's out there. The further in I got, the more addicted I was. It made me late for work! I won't repeat the plot, it's in several other places for you to see, but I will encourage you to buy this book. Most likely you'll find yourself wanting to be a part of the Reilly family just like I did. Personally, I like it much better than the Anita Blake books. Action, guns, romance, blood sucking, serious butt kicking, what more could you ask for? The characters become your friends, you'll find yourself cheering them on. It went straight to my shelf of favorites, and I'm more excited about the next book in this series than any other future releases.

Summary: Good!
Review: I really enjoyed this book. It took me a while to sort out all the characters and their relationships to one another. Do not read this book if you have delicate sensibilities. It is not for the faint of heart. However, it is well worth the read, even if you're reading an un-proofed copy. I can't wait for #2 to come out!

Summary: If only the editing weren't so bad!
Review: Many, many, many sentences had their meaning distorted by leaving out commas, misspelling words (loose when it should be lose, for instance), et cetera. The typesetting is lousy too -- paragraphs don't indent sometimes, there are huge gaps in some lines, et cetera. The writing starts out very amateurish, but gets a little better around the middle. Nobody has to build a relationship; they're all preordained. The vampires are much too easily hurt to live the thousands of years they've supposedly lived. People strain at gnats half the time and swallow camels five minutes later. Amazing. I'd have to rate it better than half the vampire novels out there, but that doesn't say much for the rest of them!

Summary: Bite into something different
Review: Out of fairness, I need to say up front that the author is a friend of mine from high school; if that relationship invalidates my review in the eyes of some, well, they can bite me. ;-)So much material has been produced about vampires that vampire books are, to me, in danger of becoming cliched out of existance. I was concerned that I would discover my friend's first work was trapped in a morass of Anne Rice-induced soporific angst and autoerotic Narcissism; I was delighted to find nothing like that on these pages, thus saving me from having to resort to giving feedback like, "Well, it's not as bad as the 5th Star Trek movie." I found this to be the most wacked vampire novel I've read since Jody Scott's 'I, Vampire'. The character development and presentation is very good, the sex is hot without being tawdry or discomforting, and the whole novel is indeed full of witty banter and snappy pop culture references. I can happily say that I honestly look forward to the next one - even if she makes me pay for that one, too. The proofreading errors are an issue. There are some grammatical missteps. On the whole, though, there is nothing unforgivable, and major publishing houses are subject to bad hair days in typsetting as well. The next book in the series is set in Las Vegas - which has to be the perfect city for vampires. Highly transient population, 24-hour everything, international cuisine arriving on every flight... I can hardly wait.

Summary: You Expect A Little Proofreading to Help?
Review: The publisher proclaims "Now with proofreading" -- as though correcting a few comma splices is going to make up for shallow characters, mindless gore, and stilted dialogue. If you think "Natural Born Killers" is the height of cinematic excellence, you might enjoy this book. Otherwise, I'd recommend giving it a pass. A grave disappointment.

Summary: This book would be a great Quentin Tarantino movie.
Review: This author's gigantic imagination breathes new life to the vampire myth. I am not a big fan of "monster" fiction but I have read Anne Rice's vampire and mummy books and didn't really care for them. (Her male characters cry too much)
Wynette Hoffman's vampires are relatably human. Her vampires are more interesting than Anne Rice has dreamed of yet. Wynette Hoffman's male vampires and thralls have thoughts men really think. Her male characters think like men and not what a woman thinks men think. She writes much better male characters than Anne Rice.
But, it's more than that. Hoffman's mind is free of the current vampire myths. Which means she's free to create a whole new set of vampire rules. In this way then the vampire myth is rejuvenated for a whole new generation of readers. She modernizes vampires for the 21st century reader.
I hope someone who knows Quentin Tarantino tells him about this book because I can't wait to see Hoffman's characters brought to life on the silver screen.
