Bad to the Bone
I loved Bad to the Bone by Jeri Smith-Ready. This one was hard to put down. It's the second in the series for WVMP Radio. If you haven't read Wicked Game, go out and get it. You'll love it.
Just like the first book, the main character is Ciara Griffin and her man or should say, vampire, is Shane McAllister. They both work at WVMP radio where all the DJs are vampires who are stuck in the time they were turned. I'm sure you remember my post on Wicked Game. If not, click here. http://robsad79.blogspot.com/2010/01/wicked-game.html
On Halloween, a religious group steals the airwaves for the radio station. Throughout the book they try to figure who and why these people are doing this. Of course there is trouble along the way but what better way to protect Ciara than her dog, Dexter. She meets Dexter when she and a couple others check out a large white cross that has a translator. Dexter isn't your typical dog. He's a vampire dog. When I first read the part where we are introduced to him I'm thinking, "How can she live with a vampire dog?" I won't tell you how of course. Also don't worry, besides Dexter, Shane will be there for her.
Also Ciara and Shane take a big step. The two move in together and Ciara has to get use to Shane,
the vampire.
I still love how he is stuck in the 90s. What can I say? A lot of 90s music made me who I am today. I spent my teenager years during that decade. I can still see my friends and me sitting in a room listening to Nirvana or Green Day. Speaking of the music, I liked the playlist at the beginning of the book and I'm going to have to put some of those songs on my ipod.
I can't wait until August when the third book comes out, although Amazon says July. This one is called, Bring on the Night. In the meantime I'm definitely going to get her first young adult book, Shade which comes out in May.
