I like nothing better than a vampire on a motorcycle. Two of my favorite things. So the synopsis drew me in. But I found the story just O. K.Kane "Viper" Tepes and his twin Kaleb "Hawk" Tepes are the president and vice president of the local motorcycle gang. They are also vampires. Vampires descended directly from Vlad III himself.The police in the small town of Pleasant Oregon, tend to look the other way and let the gang get away with more than they should because they keep the other gangs and drug dealers out of town. No one messes with their territory.Vampires for the most part are still nothing more than a myth for most people. There are however, a select few humans who are aware of what they are, and choose to be their "companions" for what ever they need.Only one cop suspects what they are, Cara Brahnam. She had an unrealistic encounter in a restroom frequented by the local motorcycle gang when she was still in school. What she saw that night was the stuff of nightmares. After all vampires were not real. Were they?Now as a detective with the Pleasant Oregon police department, she has run into that same man many times. He is the president of the local motorcycle gang, Kane. One of her main suspects in the latest murder of a young woman whose throat was cut and left drained of blood.This story was ok. It was very slow in spots and the ending was not only predictable, but left a lot of unanswered questions. I was also not a fan of the vampires referring to their club meetings as "going to church" or their feedings referred to as "communion". Just didn't sit right with me. Then ending suggests that Kaleb's story is next. I'm not sure I'll be reading it.
