Blood Bar by Norm Applegate
Trade Paperback: 9780982253014, $17.95- A patchwork collection of genre standbys, Blood Bar by Norm Applegate features an S&M loving Madame-with-a-heart-of-gold/detective/vampire called to aid her friend Rose Nichols (or possibly Nicholls), whose boyfriend Drach, a role-playing vampire, is killed in Chapter One by a cute, but psycho woman named Erin who is on the warpath against real vampires who killed her dad. Despite being busy living a life of booze and “night games” (and running an incredibly successful brothel) Kim Bennett drops everything to help Rose prove her innocence and find Drach’s killer.
- But the pair are in deeper than they thought since the killer, working for a vampire herself, is after the legendary Black Testament, a sacred vampire document written by Jack the Ripper (who supposedly lived in Manhattan and founded the wickedest blood bar in town).
- Spiked with crazy sex addicted women, a confusing array of vampires, random scenes of Truth or Dare between the two female leads and a need for tighter editing Blood Bar is a tale for hardcore vampire fans or horror fans. Readers beware though, the women in this book know the facial expressions of the people they are on the phone with, believe intelligence is an ugly trait and are very willing to throw plot and everything else aside for random sexual thoughts and acts.
Whoa! What a review! Thanks for the warnings – I may need to reconsider this one.
Im really having a hard time deciding what to think about this one.
I couldn’t finish it, if that helps at all.
