BLOODSUCKING FIENDS: A Review

Jody was a career girl. Working 9 to 5. Working for the weekend. But one evening she wakes up beneath Dumpster in an alley, a badly burned arm, superhuman strength, and a thirst for something NOT coffee. She's not prepared to be a vampire. What's a girl to do? She needs help.

C. Thomas Flood, country Indiana bumpkin, new in town, a wanna-be writer is the perfect partner. Before he knows what hit him, Tommy's in love with a vampire, juggling a night time job in a grocery store, a homeless Emperor, and an 800-year old vampire killing victims and making the police believe Tommy is the killer. Not to mention all the great sex in the shower.

If Kurt Vonnegut and Carl Hiaasen had ever decided to write a vampire novel, it would have turned out like this. Irreverent and breezy. Fiends has a lot of fun with the oh-so-serious vampire books that have flooded the market recently. Jody and Tommy are so clueless about the life of the undead, they seek guidance from Anne Rice and the local library.

BIBLIO SAYS: Recommended.
