Helpful Score: 5
One reviewer didn't like this series, saying the books are all the same, but I found them entertaining. Book 1 tells you how Jack Fleming, ace reporter, wakens to find himself soaking wet, alone at night on a beach outside Chicago. What happened is a mystery to him, as he's got a bit of a problem with his memory, but that's only the beginning. Within minutes of making it to the highway he is purposely run down by a car and then shot by the driver --- and heals almost immediately. When he can't see himself in a mirror, nor feel his heart beat, he must accept that he's been turned into a creature of legend --- a vampire.
The setting is the early 1930's and the style is noir. Al Capone hasn't been in jail very long and Chicago is still run by gangs. Jack Fleming speaks in the first person and I kept hearing Humphrey Bogart in my head. There are characters named Lucky, Slick and Gordo. And of course, a dame. It's tongue-in-cheek cheesy and a fast, fun ride.
