I picked up all three Vampire Gene novels at a convention I recently attended and as such I got to meet Sam Stone we got to talking about how vampires have been defanged somewhat, she reassured me that her vampires didn't sparkle and so I bought the books and have been looking forward to reading them.
And I have made a start, I've read killing kiss and it is enjoyable. First off I think this is probably one of the few urban fantasy novels that I've read that is set in the UK so that immediately gets bonus points from me. Secondly Gabriele is definitely a predator, the reader is left with no misconception that he's a pretty efficient killer.
That said, I found the character fairly easy to empathise with, as the novel fills in his backstory alternating with the contemporary one.
Lilly is a really likeable character, she's strong willed and really doesn't take any vampire crap.
The story rattles along at a good pace and is both fiercely enjoyable and rather sexy, even if I do say so myself.
I am really looking forward to reading the sequels.
