A Madison Rose Vampire Mystery

review 1: At first I wasn't sure how I felt about this book. There were some rough passages, and I don't think it was the best book ever written. There were some cliches and some moments where I wasn't sure if the emotions were described well (I blame this on Plato, since I read this right after discussing Book X of The Republic.) But I actually really liked it. I liked the characters and the description of place. I liked that the main girl (I'm blanking on her name... Oh. Duh. It's in the title, Madison) was around two sexy men but she kept up her boundaries and said: "No. I'm good. I'm going to do the best I can and I'm not going to just go all BUT SEXY." I was a little bit proud of her. I don't know. I really felt connected to Madison by the end. I kinda' want to read more. It mi... moreght have started out a little bit rough, but by the end I was definitely hooked.The Review is Based Off of an Advanced Reader Copy I Have Had Lying Around and Finally Was Able to Read.
review 2: "Murder in Vein" takes a well-used theme--vampires among us--and puts a whole new twist on it. Here the vampires aren't a sub-culture, they're almost like hidden royalty, taking mortal justice into their own hands when the situation demands it. Sue Ann Jaffarian has written cross-genre mystery that genuinely does justice to both genres, presenting vampires that are alternately charming and terrifying, and a heroine who is believable as she navigates the "real" world, which has done her no favors to date, and the unsuspected vampire world. There's quite a bit of expository detail on the vampire culture in the first third of the book, and Jaffarian leaves few questions about how they can live in modern society unanswered, but that serves to create a sense of reality amidst the unreal. One note: the series subtitle, "Fang in Cheek," implies that this is going to be a light-hearted or comedic romp, which it is not. It has it's moments of irony, but no one should buy this expecting "Love at First Bite." less
