A very enjoyable read, and intelligently written. The storyline, while infused with dry humor, has an underlying darkness and mystery befitting a vampire novel. The characters are engaging and interesting, and I agree with other reviewers that the switching between the two characters is seamless, and this is great as it allows us to follow the inner dialogue of two personalities, rather than just one. There is also an added element of depth and humanity to the story as, in addition to their other challenges, the lead characters are grappling with the grief of a recent family tragedy.The lead characters, Chelsey (Dr Bloodworth) and Savannah (her niece), are both strong, independent women who are capable of doing anything they put their minds to - the sort of strong-willed and beautiful heroines that we love to read about! They also have equally appealing male counterparts, of course. The supporting characters, such as Jose, Tori, Xander and Josiah are engaging and interesting in their own right.In short, an entertaining and satisfying read. It actually has a double appeal, both to those who love crime novels and those who love vampire novels (and I love the name Dr Bloodworth!) You get the best of both worlds! It would perhaps even fall into the category of horror story. In any case, I strongly suggest you curl up with this book and a cup of coffee, and enjoy. Highly recommended!
