drey's thoughts:
Raylene Pendle is a thief--and a very good one at that. She's also a vampire who doesn't like hanging out with other vamps. When she's asked to recover some government documents, she hesitates because the client is a vamp. A blind one.
She reluctantly agrees, and finds herself mired in more trouble and attention than she's ever wanted and then some. With ghouls, men in black, street kids, anonymous internet acquaintances, and transvestites all hanging with, or following her around, Raylene's circus show is mind-boggling and adrenaline-pumping.
The characters are cool. The dialog is snappy, witty, and grin-tugging humorous. The plot moves. And the story will capture your attention and hold it until all the bad guys have been identified (if not eliminated) and the good guys get to save the day. Or do they?
drey's rating: Excellent!
Have you read Bloodshot? What did you think? I'm also not quite sure what to tag this as, so I stuck with the default urban fantasy--it's vamps and ghouls, and takes place in Seattle, Atlanta, and Washington D.C. What else would you tag it with?
