Review: A different kind of vampire novel
Rating: 4 out of 5

This is basically the story of Helen, Hel for short, who is an energy vampire and feeds off peoples 'prana'.  She is a special ed teacher by day and plays roller derby at night.  She is approached by Agent Nick Jones who wants her to help him track down magic, specifically the doings of Dr. Katterfelto.I liked this book but found it took me a little longer than usual to get through it.  There was some redundancy/repetition of a particular word that got old after awhile. My main problem was that there was not enough background on the characters and location so I couldn't really get a feel for how Helen got to be an energy vampire (until almost at the end of the book).  There is a trilogy that goes along in this same setting but I think this was meant to be a stand alone novel.  All that being said, I did enjoy the humor in this book and laughed out loud several times.I received this ebook free through LibraryThing Early Reviewers program in exchange for an honest review.
