It was a bit slow at first but I was surprised to find that I was enjoying this light read. It is has tongue in cheek humor and gives a bit of a new spin on the vampire genre. It is enough that I ended up downloading the first book in the series (this is book 2). It is a standalone novel which is nice but I am interested enough to continue with the series.

Love Bites is the second installment in Adrienne Barbeau's Vampyres of Hollywood series, and let me just tell you, this series gets better and better with every new book. Barbeau is a fantastic and imaginative writer, breathing new life into my favorite of all genres - paranormal novels. The crime/detective side of the story reminds me of the spirit of the original Anita Blake novels by Laurell K. Hamilton, and the realistic characters are a bit like the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris, but Love Bites is truly original and thoroughly entertaining. You never know how a sequel is going to work out in a series, but this one is a real winner. Love Bites is every bit as clever as its predecessor, and manages to add a new level of suspense to the series. The mystery aspect in Love Bites will keep you turning pages well into the night, while the appearances of famous actors and references to vampire lore and well-known movies is delightful. These books are so much fun - I recommend them highly for anyone looking for a unique spin of the traditional vampire stories. no reviews | add a review

With her customary wit and dead-on satire, Barbeau skewers Hollywood and vamp lit alike, casting the paparazzi as werewolves and certain Hollywood "monsters" as the genuine article Ovsanna Moore is a Hollywood siren, horror film legend, and cut throat producer. She also happens to be a 450-year-old vampyre. In the follow-up to the much acclaimed Vampyres of Hollywood, Adrienne Barbeau paints a wonderfully sly portrait of cinematic vampyres, as well as the nature of celebrity, and the entertainment industry. Her "Scream Queen" credentials make her the only author who could combine such a fastpaced, edgy plot with tongue-in-cheek references to the inner workings and vanity of Hollywood. A whirlwind of action, Love Bites is a clever take on vampyres readers will never forget. No library descriptions found. |
