Publisher Description
It’s like this: a series of bullet-riddled bad breaks has seen rogue Vampyre and terminal tough guy Joe Pitt go from PI for hire to Clan-connected enforcer to dead man walking in a New York minute. And after burning all his bridges, the only one left to cross leads to the Bronx, where Joe’s brass knuckles and straight razor can’t keep him from running afoul of a sadistic old bloodsucker with a bad bark and a worse bite. Even if every Clan in Manhattan is hollering for Joe’s head on a stick, it’s got to be better than trying to survive in the outer-borough wilderness.
So it’s a no-brainer when Clan boss Dexter Predo comes looking to make a deal. All Joe has to do to win back breathing privileges on his old turf is infiltrate an upstart Clan whose plan to cure the Vyrus could expose the secret Vampyre world to mortal eyes and set off a panic-driven massacre. Not cool. But Joe’s all over it. To save the Undead future, he just has to wade neck-deep through all the archenemies, former friends, and assorted heavy hitters he’s crossed in the past. No sweat? Maybe not, but definitely more blood than he’s ever seen or hungered for. And maybe even some tears—over the horror and heartbreaking truth about the evil men do no matter who or what they are.

"Warning: Do not even try to read this unless you read the first three books of the series. Every Last Drop depends on knowing every last facet of Joe Pitts and his very complex world of Vampyre New York and its many clans. However, once you get to book four you will be hooked and ready to read another gritty and blood-soaked installment. Yes, Joe still gets beat up on a regular basis and he still does his equal share of beating up. But I can see Huston is bringing this story to a head especially with one of the most disturbing turns I've ever read in a vampire novel. I don't even mind the quotationless writing any more even in this book in which our gang of morally challenged protagonists tend to make more lectures than before. But that is a minor complaint since, Joe being Joe, there will soon be blood and lots of it. One more thing, Joe really needs to get a new girl friend."

Quotes
-
“In conceiving his world (a New York City divided by vampire clans, each with different reasons to hate Pitt), Huston gives a fading genre a fresh afterlife.”
— Entertainment Weekly -
“Huston supplies terse dialogue and convincing gore in expertly pitched prose.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“In his fourth outing, rakish New York vampire Joe Pitt leaves the series’ ‘casebooks’ nomenclature in the dust. This toothsome tale is no variation on the PI genre; instead, Huston imaginatively, logically explores the limits of the world he’s created for Pitt to haunt…[A] darkly entertaining ride.”
— Booklist -
“[Huston] has crafted a riveting and enjoyable story...Lyric. His treatment of violence in the novel is also interesting...acts of extreme violence...ironically for a vampire novel, almost bloodless. Pitt reports what has been done, rather than the reader seeing it. I think it works in the novel since it serves to highlight Pitt’s own attitude towards the violence, which is that it’s business as usual.”

" due to some oversight on my part I had to quick get this book (#4) since #5 was beckoning from the bedside table. ALOT happens. I do recommend reading these in order as you would really not get the whole build up if you read them out of order. I love Charlie. "
— Coki, 2/18/2014 -
" So, i picked this up today at my local library around 5pm. At 10 tonight i started trying to read it since SNL is a repeat. I put it down. Picked it up and put it down. It seemed REALLY slow to get moving. Too much of the opening that i was somewhat repulsed. Now ive picked it up again after soldiering thru it and im up to page 57 and its back to what i know and like about joe pitt. later for that extra crap. so my advice is yes its slow at the start but it gets better. ill be back when im done to amend my review. "

" My favorite series from Charlie Huston- this whole series is a must read. Gang based vampires in NY / Brooklyn- classic. "
— Robin, 1/28/2014 -
" Finally finished this, can't wait to get the last book-My Dead Body. A screwed up guy- leading a screwed up life.. A subject I can relate to. Joe Pitt says everything at the wrong time and under the worst circumstances, for that alone it's entertaining. This is #4 in the series, don't bother reading unless you've read the other 3, cause it won't make any sense, not worth it on it's own. "
— Dylan, 1/22/2014 -
" I'm going thru these too fast. I can't bear for them to end "
— Jennifer, 1/17/2014 -
" yikes..another vampire series...Its good.... and these vampyres ( yes with a y) can eat people food "
— Myrna, 1/8/2014 -
" This one started out way too gory for me, but somehow the plot always draws me in looking forward to the next installment.- "
— Rachel, 1/8/2014 -
" Another great book...the first half was a bit slow (hence the 4 stars), but the second half just about made up for it! Super stoked to read the last book...what could possibly be in store for Joe Pitt!?!?! "
— Melissa, 12/30/2013 -
" I loved getting back into Joe Pitt's world. Lots of action and lots of Joe. Can't wait to read the next one. 4.5 "
— Jeff, 12/8/2013 -
" Hooray for another Joe Pitt and his NYC vampire noir! "
— Gina, 12/1/2013 -
" While it's a fun read, and Huston is most definitely still in fine form, it's not as engrossing as the others in the series. Pitt is still a fantastic character that I'll always want more from, but this part of his story is just a little too rushed, and in the end, abrupt in a bad-taste way. "
— Thomas, 11/11/2013 -
" Once again our antihero Joe Pitt goes through a violent story full of horror, but ultimately at his core, a sense of his love for the world, his beloved Manhattan and most importantly, his Evie. It's a bloody, violent story, but if you've read this far in this series, would you expect any different? "
— Will, 10/3/2013 -
" First one that wasn't really complete in of itself. Disjointed. "
— Ray, 6/16/2013 -
" #15 for 2010. "
— Craig, 6/15/2013 -
" This is #4 in the series. The series is starting to get predictable and there are only so many ways you can hurt someone! I did still rate it a 4 though:). Sometimes you just need a little brainless reading! "
— Valerie, 4/20/2013 -
" This was not my favorite Joe Pitt book...but, the ending set up for a really good story in the next one, so I have hopes that I'll be back on the "I love Joe Pitt" bandwagon soon. "
— Julie, 8/6/2012 -
" The violence was horrifically vile even for me, but the best darn book I've read. It's one of his good ones. I love this series anyway. Well worth the gore.LOL! "
— Lee, 9/30/2011 -
" This started out slow but is very good and compulsively readable (and gruesome) toward the end. Great for plane rides, passing time in waiting rooms, etc. "
— Telaina, 9/27/2011 -
" Yawn. Which was pretty much my reaction throughout the book. I shall be glad to finish the next book and get it all over and done with! "
