Publisher Description

Flavoring the hard-boiled detective story with a taste of the supernatural, this is the first book in the highly entertaining Vampire Files series.

“I’ve always had a weak spot for strange ladies. One very beautiful girl had even warned me that she was—get this—a vampire. But did I listen? No.

“Before you know it, I’m being chased by an ugly thug with a gun, and a bullet blasts its way through my back, and—believe it or not—nothing happened. I survived! How? You guessed it. I, Jack Fleming, ace reporter, have been transformed into a vampire.

“Which has its advantages. You never die, you never grow old, you sleep all day…and best of all, you can hunt down your own murderer.”

Being turned into a vampire takes some getting used to, and when an astute private investigator spots Jack during his transition period, he arranges a meeting and recruits him. Working together, they take on the criminal world and set out to catch Jack’s killer.

    " it was pretty straightforward, no real twist at the end. I don't like that he just accepted his newly dead status. /shrug i know these are supposed to be some huge series, but i won't be reading anymore (i listened to an audiobook, loved the narrator, very Noir, and sounded like Cas from Supernatural!)

    " Having a very hard time reading this book. Too plodding. It should be interesting, but everything is a discussion with little action. "

    " You know, I tried really, really hard to like this book. It didn't happen. From the "I'm bored even thought it's happening to me" tone to the "hey, would you look at that, I've a giant hole in me. Huh, whaddaya know?" bit... I just couldn't get into it. "

    " Interesting idea for a book in theory but the plot moved so slowly & the characters were so slow to react that I forced myself to listen to this book until the end. I am not one to abandon books ;) "

    " Not bad for a first in series. Bloodlist had a Chicago-1920's-mobster feel, and was much more plot driven rather than emotionally driven, which was a fresh change for me in this genre. There were some long moments, but the ending was great. "

    " I really like this book as well. It is more of a detective type story with the main character waking up as a vampire. He searches how he became that way and who killed him. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " It was good but not what I was in the mood for. The stories are set during the depression and are basically noir mysteries that happen to have a vampire protagonist. No romance to speak of, very little humor, solid mysteries but just not my style these days. "
