| Vampire Vacation by C.J. Ellisson |
I give this book 4 bats with tiaras out of 5 bats because it was a great read and always leaves you wanting more.
This little gem of a story has been a great find and read. I am one of those people that usually if a book doesn't interest me by the end of the first chapter, it is doomed to have to work the rest of the book to hold my interest. Vampire Vacation on the other hand had my attention by the end of the little glossary of people in the front of the book. it makes you look twice when the description for one of the people is “the dead guy in the first chapter.”
I would have to say that Jonathan is my favorite character. Gotta love the sexy werewolf with a heart of gold and a sense of humor that would make Loki proud. Plus he makes a hell of an exit, ;)
This book is a nice mix of mystery and a new look at a situation with vamps and weres. There's also a glimpse into how seethes and other parts of vampire lives in this world work.
If you are looking for a good read mixing mystery, paranormal,and erotica this is the book you should find.

I can't wait for the next one and a big part of me is hoping for a prequel to get all the details of Vivi’s back story.

Thanks TRV!! Great review! And yes, I am working on a prequel with Viv's early life and how she and Rafe get together. She's had a rough past so parts will be pretty dark, but I'll know for sure when I actually write it ;-)
ReplyDeleteI did do a short story recently for a contest - kind of a mini look into the past - when Viv and Rafe meet up for the first time again after she met him when he was a teenager. It's posted on my Facebook page, if you're interested.
Thanks again for your time and for giving a new author a chance - I really appreciate it!
Excellent Review C.J.!!! I love reading any Vampire books.....I can't wait 2 read this book!!!! Thanks for the giveaway....

Excellent review. As C.J. knows, I'm old school when it comes to vampires. Like in my book "Hunters," vampires meet the worst deaths.
ReplyDeleteBut, I was intrigued by Viv and Rafe and by the whole concept of vampire vacation. The characters literally came alive and I was able to put aside my usual notions of vampires.
I would definitely recommend this book to vampire-philes (or whatever the term is).
