Slikstone's books are definitely my guilty pleasure. My typical reads are serious, blood-splattered mysteries and I stay away from the "Cozy Mysteries" as they are just too sugary sweet. Silkstone's mysteries are in a category all their own. I just have to call them Fun Mysteries because that is what they are from page 1- fun with slapstick humor, filled with giggles throughout with a wonderful mystery as the main plot. These books are what makes me think of a relaxing read on the beach on a beautiful summer day. I can pick up one of the Wendy Darlin series and I have a smile on my face until the very last page. This fifth in the series of Wendy's adventures is along the same line- a fun-filled mystery that keeps me giggling and wondering who done it throughout.In Vulgarian Vamps, Wendy and Roger are headed to their destination wedding with their best man/maid of honor, Kit, the nail tech/drag queen. Roger has planned the entire adventure and the trio lands in Vulgaria expecting fun and excitement- and per Wendy, NO adventures as she is 7 months pregnant with Little Roger. What they get when they arrive to their accommodations is anything but what Wendy and Kit expected. Instead of the romantic, scenic, relaxing destination wedding, they get a whole lot of unexpected trouble. It starts with meeting their bizarre innkeeper/cook Squirl, and gets crazier with a ridiculous baby stealing vampire named Vlad, Mina an energetic little vamp, and a familiar looking priest who is in town to help take care of a tragedy at the Abbey that happened the night of the Lugosi Comet.Will Wendy get her wedding planned, the mystery solved, keep the vampires away, make sure the townspeople don't burn down the Abbey and keep Little Roger from making an early entrance into the world? When Wendy and Roger, along with Kit and their new friends, get together, you never know what will happen. And with Wendy, anything can and will happen! More than one mystery is solved in this 5th installment of Wendy Darlin's newest adventure. It's nothing but fun, fun and more fun!
