Book Review: How to Marry A Millionaire Vampire by Kerrelyn Sparks
Now this was a fun read. Any book that involves both the Russian mafia and vampires has got to be pretty exciting. There are time when the excitement is a bit too intense, but it makes for gripping reading.
Shanna Whelan is a dentist who is afraid of the sight of blood. Needless to say, she's not very good at her chosen career. But her life changes drastically when the head of a local vampire coven breaks off one of his fangs in a sex doll and needs her to reimplant it before the place where it was heals and he ends up having all the other vampires call him names and don't let him join in any vampire games.
She eventually discovers the truth about good old Roman and his army of kilted Scotsmen (Och, I would like to drink yer blood, lassie!) and her emotions are thrown into turmoil because she's already more than half in love with Roman. But the Russians are after her. She's in the witness protection program because she saw the Russian mafia slaughter a cafe full of people, including Shanna's best friend. But it's Russian vampires, including Roman's arch enemy Ivan, who are after her. There are some great chase scenes involving a very sympathetic taxi driver, and quite a few chills, spills and close calls,
Likeable, sympathetic characters. I liked this book so much that I would happily read the sequels... how could you resist a title like "The Undead Next Door"?
Good stuff.
