" Pretty good. The story is good but the writing could be better. The ebook version needs some dividers between scenes, however. The lack of dividers or chapters was pretty confusing. "

" I like vampires but its so hard to find decent books written about them that aren't just thinly veiled Erotic fiction, so when I read a great review of this book in SFX I decided to check it out. Joe Pitt is a Vampire but he isn't one of your shagging anything, dark of heartness type of dudes, he is kind of a PI, well trying to do anything to keep himself out of trouble with the different gangs running NYC. Really enjoyed this Noir-Vampire novel, happy that it is going to be a series of books. "

" This was an entertaining read. It was dark, funny and an interesting twist on Vampires and Zombies. The second book I've read by Huston and will go on to read more by this author. Recommended! "

" I didn't like this as much as his first in the Hank Thompson series, but it's still pretty good - very different premise. Joe Pitts is a vampire, a problem solver for the various vampire clans around NYC. It's always nice to get an original take on the vampire theme - Huston's moves away from the romanticism of most vampire books and concentrates on the real everyday life problems they face in a world where they "don't exist" and are trying to survive. With a missing teenage girl, a zombie on the loose, an angry girlfriend and a mysterious follower that leaves no scent - Joe has gotten himself caught in the middle of a grand plan of some very powerful folks. This was good enough for me to keep reading this series and see what happens in the continuing, I guess you would call it life, of this smart-mouthed vampire. "

" If you like hard-boiled, Raymond Chandler mysteries meets Bram Stoker, the Joe Pitt Casebooks are right up your alley. They're kinda like book crack. In a really good way. "

" I have a digital reader and got this book for free, what a great read. If you like vampires this is the book for you. Carlie Huston does a great job of developing the characters and the New York street scene. The plot development is fast paced as well as action sequences. Highly recommend. "

" I liked this book. It pulled me in and I am ready for the next one in the series. I love Huston's narrative of the tough (or dumb) wise-guy. I'm thinking for him to do that so well, he must be some sort of wise=guy himself. IMHO. "

" Amazing. Very much a Blade style vampire story. My only pet peeve is the shoehorning of words like "Vyrus" and "Vampyre." It doesn't make the story any cooler, so why offend grammar nerds?-ra
