Mark Julian Vampire P.I.: The Case of the Vampire Hunter

Mark Julian, Vampire P.I. #4

by Kyle Cicero

Vampires from around the globe are gathering in New York City to attend meetings of their worldwide Grand Council. Unfortunately someone is methodically hunting the delegates and killing them. The undead community has given their host, Tortego, an ultimatum. Find the killer and stop the deaths or face a loss of his power. Despite putting his best vampires on the matter, all efforts have so far failed. In desperation the panicked vampire chief turns once more to Mark Julian for help. But this time that may not solve the problem. Since his last encounter with New York City’s Detective Vinnie Pasquale, Mark Julian had become a drunken recluse who had closed up his private eye offices. When Tortego approaches the newly sober Julian the P.I. agrees to seek out the deadly vampire hunter. The search is on but Jaime, his sex demon secretary, fears that the recently despondent Mark may not be fully up to the task and may wind up as the hunter’s next victim. In the face of Mark’s possible suicide mission will she step in with her fiancé’s reluctant assistance? Will she call on Detective Vincent Pasquale to aid her in saving Mark Julian from a possible death? More importantly, how will he respond to her request?

I loved the story!

Kyle Cicero delivered the goods in his wonderful characters of the vampire Tortega (from the Spanish Inquistion), Jaime the very hot sex-changing demon who dresses in the style of clothes from the '40's, her uber-sexy fiance a werewolf called Jean-Claude and Vinnie. The boyfriend and lover of Mark who is a broken man (can't give away the plot!)

I love the many characters that Cicero brings in as vampires from different parts of history. They are all interesting and make the story come alive and add to the storyline, far as I am concerned.

There are many threads laid out in this story that will take the reader happily to the next book which I am looking forward to reading! Murdering vampires by other vampires is never taken lightly. Two powerful leaders are now in New York in a game of 'who can spit farther!'

Mark has demons to kill on the outside and Vinnie has demons on the inside.

There is never a dull moment in his wonderful series!

I recommend this series to anyone who is interested in a good vampire series with lots of interesting characters, plots and all laid out in New York City.
