![]() ![]() Catherine’s mother was raped by a vampire and Catherine is the statistically rare result of that attack (something about a very recently turned vampire who’s sperm was still active when he did the raping). ![]() Catherine Crawfield hunts vampires and is almost caught with a dead (!) vampire in the back of her truck. The problem is that the really good ones are getting fewer and farther between (maybe because there are a lot more of them) and many fall somewhere squarely in the so-so range, as happened with Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost.įrost’s debut starts off promisingly enough. And still I request these novels for review. I know all of that and still…Still I pick up many of those novels hoping for the next Charlaine Harris, Kim Harrison, Patricia Briggs, Lynn Viehl or Ilona Andrews. Here’s a mystery with a heroine who can sense dead people, here’s a chick lit with a sassy heroine working in a business run by vampires, here’s a demon-hunting soccer mom, and here’s a dozen or so vampire romances with tough-talking heroines and bloodsucking vampires with hearts of gold. Take a glance at the new paperbacks display in any Borders or Barnes and Noble and you get it. ![]() I know all the reasons why people are tired of the endless stream of paranormal novels being pushed in the bookstores. ![]()
