Vampire Thing #1
It's A Vampire Thing
Claire Treemont is a small-town coroner with a small-town social life -- as in, nonexistent. When a yummy body enters her life one night at the county morgue, Claire is astonished to find she's pretty sad he's dead. I mean, honestly, how often does someone like her get to gaze upon a body like that?
Zachariah Kowalski's got an affliction that has him waking up in places that are, to say the least, inconvenient. He also has a life mate who escapes him from century to century just as they're about to seal the vampire deal. Kinda frustrating, huh?
Add in a best friend, Jarrod, who's ever so helpful, and an ex who'd rather see him dead than with another woman, and you get... trouble. Oh, and a wild, passionate ride against time...

I found this totally amateurish, completely cliched, absolutely predictable and really rather pathetic.

For Claire Treemont, life as a small-town coroner doesn’t have many perks, but a sexy man on her table is one of them. Too bad he’s dead…
Or maybe not.
Narcoleptic vampire Zachariah Kowalski has once again dropped off at an inconvenient time. As luck would have it, the beautiful woman who almost brings a scalpel to him is his Life Mate, Claire. Zach has loved and lost Claire for centuries; she’s always murdered right before he can turn her and formally make her his own. This time, Zach’s determined not to lose her. But to do that, he has to figure out who the killer is.
Fate gives two lovers destined to be together another chance in the red-hot “It’s a Vampire Thing.” Claire and Zach are two likeable characters who are racing against the clock to keep history from repeating itself. Adoring both Claire and Zach as I did, it was easy to become entranced by the story as I watched them put the pieces of the puzzle together. Though Zach and Claire are everything you could want in a hero and heroine, I admit I found myself slightly more intrigued by the tale’s villain. Lucky for me, I finished this satisfying tale able to jump right into its sequel.

Coroner Claire Treemont is at work in the County Morgue one night, just minding her own business. Ok, so she was doing a bit of ogling while taking preliminary information on her latest, uh, patient. But generally, she was just doing her job. That is, until her patient pulled a mind freak on her and opened his eyes and spoke...

funny, good characters, but very very short. Didn't have much time to really get into the story & the character development. Really funny, sarcastic. A abrupt ending, but it might be my Nook version. If a book 2 were to come out, I'd check it out.

This was an okay read for me. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it either. A vampire with narcolepsy also feels sooooo wrong to me, even though it matches the humor in the book.
