review 1: I really enjoyed beginning this book but somewhere around the first third it slowed down and now after finishing it I feel like it was a bore. The idea was a good one and one that excited me and sounded different from the rest of the vampire stories that seem to be everywhere today. But in the end it was just an ordinary LA private investigator story with all the regular angles you'd expect to find in one of those with a vampire twist. Disappointed.
review 2: Overall this book had a good premise, but it didn't grab me or really engage me the way that I hoped. I found Elle somewhat annoying and her DogFish Head Pale Ale obsession was just ridiculous. Unless DogFish Head gave the author money for product placement, she could mention it once and then just call it ... morebeer. (Besides, DogFish Head is usually available in the grocery store and Midas Touch is the superior brew). There was a brief mention of absinthe addicts. As an absinthe drinker, I felt that this was just uninformed.I think this was a first book from the author, and that the author has done some vampire research, which was nice to see. I think for a first book, it has a lot of good qualities, and also some more to work on. I would not recommend this book to friends, but I would maybe read another book by B.E. Scully in the future. I think that the author should focus on crime fiction and leave the supernatural out of it. *** = glad I read it. ARC provided by GoodReads First Reads Program. less
