Joseph O’Reily has had a
fantasy for years. He walks into his favorite hangout joint, a bar called
Bitters Tavern, and there she is – a red-headed bombshell waiting just for him.
When that fantasy actually comes true, Joe can’t believe his luck. Of course,
there’s always a catch. He just hasn’t discovered it yet.
So, this wench turns Joe
without his knowledge or permission and he forgives her immediately because
reasons. He also figures out he’s becoming a vampire pretty easily because
reasons. The villain is completely laughable and unrealistic, the plot is
shaky, and the Uber Villains are looking pretty laughable, too. The editing is
sloppy and there are timeline discrepancies which are irritating as fuck. This
story is all around meh.
In a side note: This
book contains song lyrics from eight different songs (Peter Gabriel, Rod
Stewart, Alphaville, Crowded House {2 songs}, Blue Rodeo, Rolling Stones, &
Ron Hynes). And I’d be really surprised if the author paid for the rights or
got permission to use them. Huge NO-NO.
I’d also like to note
that I received this book for review back in 2012. I notice it has since been
repubbed a couple of times, the latest being January 2016. So, it may have gone
through revisions that I’m unaware of.
