Here is the critically acclaimed saga of blood and passion as only vampire Jack Fleming could tell it.
Jack Fleming was an investigative journalist in Prohibition-era Chicago until he got shot by an unknown assassin, bitten by his vampire girlfriend—who has since disappeared—and then became one of the undead. Now, this nice-guy Nosferatu has a bunch of crazy vampire hunters on his trail, armed with crosses, silver bullets, and sharp wooden stakes. He doesn't know how they found out about him or why they are "out for his blood," but it's not a problem for this street-wise gumshoe, until someone starts shooting. Jack himself may be bulletproof, but his friends are not. And Jack is determined to get some answers, even if it kills him—again. It's a case of the living versus the undead. But who's hunting whom?

"Rereading this one as I am going through the series again.Fond memories of the first time through, looking forward to new ones.I think the best bit is that he evolves as a person as you go through the book. "

“Once again, P.N. Elrod has created a delightful read in the second installment of The Vampire Files, with Lifeblood. What makes these books fun is that they are not just another book about vampires, but they are the film noir of vampire novels…Barrett Whitener reads them in the fashion that brings up pictures of Humphrey Bogart or William Powell as the detective. His delivery is perfect…Lifeblood is worth the listen whether you are a detective or vampire fan.”

— Bud, 2/16/2011" 1930s noir and a vampire with a heart who interacts with the mob.<br/><br/>P. N. Elrod is amazing in her depiction of the time period. You can see, smell, feel, and hear it as you read. "

— Susan, 6/22/2010" I thought this book was ok, but not amazing. I didn't really feel any connection to the characters or the events happening. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I had read the rest of the series... "
— Kimifly, 12/14/2009" Murder, mayhem, and incompetent vampire hunters are following Jack. Sometimes it sucks to be undead. "
