"Jugular" pulls the reader in immediately, then treats them to a richly expressed, unique story of supernatural experiences.  Magda is a heartbroken widow with a vicious, abusive son.  Although her son has proven to be a disappointment and source of unhappiness, Magda feels a mother's love and, inevitably, gives her life trying to protect her strange son.When Magda awakens in a morgue, she is thrust into a journey of fear, uncertainty and, perhaps, fate.  She ends up under the power of an old hag vampire who wants to eliminate Magda and the handsome detective who had been searching for Magda after she left the morgue.Lopez really knows how to write battles, and she knows how to describe her bad guys so that you will be checking under your bed for a week!  Her use of language is quite unique, and her storytelling skills are superb. I can see this book having a sequel!I received this book as a contest prize, but I definitely would have bought had I not been so lucky!
