Review: Vampire Fantasy Meets Noir Detective Novel
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 3, 2012
Takers is a fun read for anyone who is into vampire fantasy.  Fans of True Blood or Blade will find this contemporary take on vampire lore familiar and entertaining.  The noir detective feel gives it a bit more depth than the typical vampire story.  There are some scenes of relatively tame "vamp-erotica", including some homosexual themes, that would place this in what I would call a "PG-13" range of suitability, so prospective readers should be aware of that.  There were some minor inconsistencies in the story that I felt took away from it slightly, which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, but overall it was an enjoyable read.
