This book was amazing...first, it's "outside-the-box"...it seems to me that's why some of the reviewers didn't care for it. It does NOT fit easily into any genre. It's certainly better written than a great many of the most recent vampire novels out there. It IS truly a fun read, the characters are a blast, and the plot was decently intricate. I have to agree it shouldn't be read by those subject to moral outrage, because the title says it all...what's a little murder, when there's family involved?
This is probably one of the most, if not the most, original vampire novels to come down the pipeline in a decade.

If you are looking for a simple plot, a typical vampire romance, or good versus evil....you probably won't like it. Romance it has, and vampires, and good, and evil....but there is NOTHING simple about this book.
Yet, it still is...pure pulp. FUN!

I would have given it 5 stars, but for the fact that it has some room for technical improvement by the author, and you can tell it's a "first novel"...I expect very, very good things from her in the future. ( )

This is a great story with a little bit of everything I enjoy in novels... action, horror, romance, paranormal, and more.

The story is (somewhat) centered on an occult shop called "The Pragmatic Pagan". By that, I mean that the prominent characters are the shop owners' family members, friends, and patrons. Then, vampire politics direct the action of the story.

I found the whole thing imaginative, lively, and entertaining. On the downside, the book's typos were extremely irritating. The author has an aversion to commas, adores run-on sentences, and cannot tell the difference between 'to' and 'too' or 'of' and 'have'. While this detracted from my own reading experience, I still felt the story was well worth my time. ( )

can anyone tell me if there is going to be a sequel to this?... ( )
