Review: Cute, creative, well-written, a little gaudy

I like to give credit where it's due, and overall this is a worthwhile read.  However, I think that would depend on individual taste.  There are stories of vampires that are mysterious, dark, romantic, or terrifying. Then there are stories like this one; it's a book which makes light of it all as if it were perfectly normal to interact with vampires on a daily basis without fear.Veronica keeps discovering piles of ashes a.k.a. dead vampires, and it doesn't seem to affect her much beyond curiosity. Even when her home is broken into and trashed, the reactions are very blasé. It reminds me of Charlene Harris's work in many ways, as do various others as the lighthearted vampire stories seem to be carving a new sub-genre all their own.It's well-written without the many typos, misspellings, and redundancies we've all become familiar with in the freebie section, so that's definitely a plus!! I found it a little cute for my taste, but it's definitely creative, humorous, and put together very well.If you enjoy a playful read now and then to break the monotony of the "usual" tone of the genre, I would highly recommend this book.
