false 2744959 3 <b>UNREPENTANT. UNIMPRESSED.AND TOTALLY UNDEAD.</b><P>Eric's got issues. He has short-term and long-term memory problems; he can't remember who he ate for dinner yesterday, much less how he became a vampire in the first place. His best friend, Roger, is souring on the strip club he and Eric own together. And his girlfriend, Tabitha, keeps pressuring him to turn her so she can join him in undeath. It's almost enough to put a Vlad off his appetite. Almost.<P>Eric tries to solve one problem, only to create another: he turns Tabitha into a vampire, but finds that once he does, his desire for her fades -- and her younger sister, Rachel, sure is cute. And when he kills a werewolf in self-defense, things really get out of hand. Now a pack of born-again lycanthropes is out for holy retribution, while Tabitha and Rachel have their own agendas -- which may or may not include helping Eric stay in one piece. <P>All Eric wants to do is run his strip club, drink a little blood, and be left alone. Instead, he must survive car crashes, enchanted bullets, sunlight, sex magic, and werewolves on ice -- not to mention his own nasty temper and forgetfulness.<P>Because being undead isn't easy, but it sure beats the alternative. 2770637 11 3 2008 Staked (Void City, Book 1) total:123|5:35|4:41|3:31|2:11|1:5| 123 459 324 42 5 1 false true Sun Jun 29 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 20 11:51:23 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 01 06:40:31 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Fri May 30 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat May 31 20:56:52 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 12 13:07:09 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Dec 10 01:34:28 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 10 01:40:14 -0800 2008

This is a great first novel, and I look forward to the second one (out in March '09, I believe). ]]> 1 0 false false Sun Nov 23 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 15:04:05 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 15:06:41 -0800 2008 .10
Thinking this might be a fun little vamp romp, I took a chance on this.

Hilarious, very entertaining, lots of action & sometimes violent UF -- this is *not* a pnr romance with a vampire hunk as the leading man. There are relationships, but romance is not the main storyline.
