A Toronto ex-cop with night blindness and decreasing peripheral vision, turned private investigator, finds herself hunting a demon. It's a compellingy told first entry in a vampire series. My only complaint is that there were some weird typos and spelling mistakes, e.g., MacDonald's for McDonald's and I Dream of Genie instead of Jeannie. I'm pissy like that, though.

It might be time for me to stop reading so much romancey paranormal fiction. I'm becoming impatient with the bad writing. I just tried to get into a literary novel, and I couldn't, so I guess I just have to be choosier about the genre fiction I pick up. So yeah, The Vampire Shrink, while not terrible, tempted me to put it down on several occasions.

Books in the Hollows series are always compelling. In this latest entry, though, I felt like someone had told the author that she needed to work on the romance angle, so there's a half-hearted, poorly executed push-pull between our heroine, the witch demon and the elf who has been her nemesis since the first book, if I remember correctly. I do like that Rachel's love interests are always flawed, in a way that can't be brushed aside.

Pretty much the same review as for City of Bones.

I found this because someone posted or referenced the author’s great Ten Rules for Fat Girls, and I saw on her site that she writes vampire novels. Protagonist Miranda Grey isn’t fat, but when she’s thin its viewed as a sign of poor physical and mental health.

Okay, I was super-stressed and considered removing the stressor from my life. Instead of working on the conference presentation I've been worrying about I borrowed the fourth in the Mercedes Thompson series from the library when I returned the third. A friend talked me down from my panic, but I already had the book, so I figured I may as well snarf it up. I also wrote the first part of my presentation.
