The party Planning books are typical cozies. Like far too many, lead character Presley Parker, has poor impulse control, something she blames on her ADHD. Rather a glib pass for a really annoying trait that frankly detracts from otherwise good books.
The plot centers around a wrap party for a vampire movie set in a graveyard, complete with a creepy old caretaker. The best parts of the story concerned the 'parkour' people - a new fad underground sport. That was very interesting, but couldn't offset the erratic behavior of Presley. Unfortunately, her boyfriend, former cop turned crime scene cleanup specialist, Brad, is kind of flat and 2 dimensional. The movie people are largely right from central casting, from the self adsorbed director to the immature lead actors.
the name dropping of San Francisco residents was redundant and annoying. An OK read with several interesting plot devices and a neat mystery if you can get past the characters.
