Meet Jane Jameson, ordinary librarian, if at best. Her story starts off pretty harsh. Her boss fires her, sends sends her off with a giftcard to Shennegans. After getting drunk at the bar, she drives home, and is mistaken for a deer, shot and left for dead.

Then the handsome (undead) man she met at the bar comes behind her and saves her from death by turning her into a vampire. Now Jane must re-adjust to everyday (un-life) and learn to cope with being one of the undead. She meets a preppy vampire realter that shows up on her doorstep with a gift basket and guide for the newly undead.

On the first night outing she has, she ends up in a squabble with a vampire named Walter, who was later found burned to a crisp in his car. Now the Vampire counsil thinks Jane is behind the killing, and strange things start happing all around her. Someone (or something) wants Jane out of the picture for good.

I enjoyed this book, but not enough to make it a keeper. I didnt like her sister or mother. I wasnt fond of the constant "name dropping" or the repetitive use of the word "cryptic". The book was pretty much set in present day, but I think the author tried a little too hard to make the book stand out. The mystery fell flat for about a 100 pages or so, and didnt pick up until the end. I am proud to say I had the killer guessed, and was overall pleased with the end resolution. Nothing too complicated. It worth a book credit, and hey, theres some wolves thrown in for good measure. I will be reading the rest of this 3 book trilogy, just to find out what happens to Miss Jane Jameson, her friend Zeb, and her sire Gabriel.
