Forget everything you knew about vampires. They are not sexy, stylish, rich, or powerful.
Nina has been a 15-year-old since 1973 when she was first turned into a vampire. Now she attends vampire support group meetings with her fellow vamps, who are sickly and living off the blood of guinea pigs. It's not a fancy life at all!
Nina's life is boring (although she does use her experience as a vampire to write vampire fiction). So when Casimir, the vampire who originally turned members of the group, is found staked in his apartment, Nina's life is about to be an adventure. The killer knows who and what they are, so The Reformed Vampire Support Group sets off to save themselves and finds a dangerous journey along the way.
This is not your typical vampire story. These vampires are grumpy, cranky, and not glamorous at all. But that's what makes them fun.
There were a lot of characters to keep track of in the beginning and the plot started off sort of slow, but keep with it and you will have a delightful and funny mystery.

I enjoyed the Australian accent of the reader, but the story, while occasionally wryly funny, just wasn't compelling enough. Vampires here are pathetic rather than fierce, and other than one rescue, there just wasn't much that happened.
