THE NyMPHOS OF ROCKY FLATS - Mario Acevedo

Oooooo-kay! What an interesting romp in the rack. Very irreverant and funny and twisty turny vampire novel. I bought it because of the title and subject matter (the vampires, NOT the nymphos!) and I was happily pleased with the whole read. Well, had some ick issues with the pouring of blood over perfectly yum Mexican food or whatever else they were crunching on. Gah!

The story starts with how Felix goes to Iraq a soldier and comes back a vampire. He is hired as a private investigator to find out why the women at Rocky Flats Nuclear Arsenal are turning into nymphos....nice gig, I reckon.....The story takes place in Denver, so I had fun with the locales.

Looking forward to the rest of the series, if only for the titles.

HOUNDING THE MOON - P R Frost

Finished this morning. I am already looking forward to the next in the series, MOON IN THE MIRROR. All of the characters are interesting, especially the bad guys - the demons. Tess makes for a fab heroine with emotional baggage galore and wanting to fix the world, one demon portal a time. My favorite character is Scrap, her imp. He's a delight and needs a good pop upside the head every once in a while. He is devoted to his 'babe', Tess, emotionally and psychically.
The book is laced with demons who have apparently been around for a long while on Earth, with sightings in Washington state. Big, furry, manlike creatures....yeah, those guys of folk legend....
I recommend this book to any who enjoy a good paranormal romp, good mix of humor and a dash into the fantasy/sci-fi conventions.

CITY OF MASKS - Daniel Hecht

CITY OF MASKS....A disturbing, dark, great paranormal character study. There were so many things going on in this dense, dank, murky book. And I do not mean any of this in a bad way. I highly recommend this book to all who love a good ghost story with a strong dose of deception and decay.
Even though the cover states that it is "A Cree Black Novel", Daniel Hecht does share the wealth of story telling with all of the characters, good, bad, and shades in between.

My least favorite was Charmian. She valued her position in society above all else, even her daughter's mental health.

My most favorite character, besides Cree, was Lila. Bless her, she was the bravest of all of them. Terrified and she still needed to confront her ghosts, literally.
A second favorite character is Joyce. Just love her balance of humor and love for Cree and Ed.

I cannot wait to read the next Cree Black Novel and see who all we meet, alive and ghost alike.
