What a great read! I love finding
something new and different from what I typically read and that is exactly what
this is. Veronica Mason, lipstick witch and rockabilly singer extraordinaire
has been having some scary dreams that are about to become a crazy scary
reality. Late one night after a gig and a couple of days before her big
performance in front of a record producer she finds her vampire bass player
staked and nothing more than a pile of ashes. The craziness ensues from there.
She’s being followed by a strange car, she can’t figure out if her sexy new
bass player is friend of foe, she’s having visions, she doesn’t know who to
trust and strange new people seem to be popping up all around her. Once the
police get involved she doesn’t know whether she’s a victim or a suspect that’s
about to be singing Jail House Rock, rockabilly style.
I love the paranormal worlds where
the humans are aware of the paranormal beings that live amongst them and also
where there are more than one species of paranormal beings. I got both of those
elements with this book. I also got a fun rockabilly atmosphere. I loved the retro
diner, the cars and the attire of the characters. It was something new to me. I
will definitely continue reading this series. I am very eager to see where
Veronica and Buzz go with their careers and side jobs. That is really the only
way I can phrase that without giving away a HUGE spoiler. I loved Veronica and
the fact that this book is written from her point of view. I also greatly enjoyed
the mystery. The author did a wonderful job of keeping me guessing as to who
the murderer was. The moment I had decided who the evil villain was my
suspicions would immediately be thrown elsewhere.
I think this book would be great
read for anyone high school age of older who like paranormal beings and a great
mystery in a unique rockabilly setting. With that said this book is not what I
would define as YA, it just does not have the sexual romance aspect that would
make it an inappropriate read for a younger crowd. There was plenty of
attraction that I hope builds to something more in the next book. (This Diva is
crossing her finger)
“Seriously? I’d discovered another expired vampire and I was
worried about my lipstick? Issues-I had them.” I loved Veronica’s personality!
