review 1: This is #1 in Blood Series. This is a story about vampires in Nashville, Tennessee in the 70's. There is some pretty dark humor throughout the book that makes the book a little lighter even though the subject matter is of a horror nature. When I first saw the word horror, I was a little skeptical, but I didn't feel that part was over done. I really grew to like Fauvette and even Zginski. This was given to me by the author and I am glad he gave me the opportunity to read it. I believe this was the first book that he has written and I found the story to be enjoyable. I learned two new words, Nosferatu and porphyria. I am giving this 4 out of 5 stars and I have the next in the series to read which I will do in the next month or so.
review 2: It had a decen... moret plot. The author did not pander to the typical blood and gore so often associated with vampire novels. I really enjoyed the setting of 1975 Memphis. I turned 8 in 1975. This made the time more relevant to me. I did not live in Memphis, but the references to certain songs and cultural phrases added the connection a reader needs in order to 'believe' the story.The characters were likeable, even the Baron. Maybe a little bit of depth could have been added to them, though. They were not cardboard cutouts, but they had only two dimensions. All in all, an enjoyable and quick read. At only 299 pages "Blood Groove" makes for good entertainment on a rainy afternoon. less
