Summary
From the Best-Selling Author of the Supervillainy Saga
Peter Stone is a poor black vampire who has found undeath isn't all it was promised to be. There's no vast riches, innate cool, or super-sex appeal. No, instead, there's working the graveyard shift at a gas station alongside the highway to Detroit. Oh, and the blood thing sucks, too.
Working a second job as the sheriff of the undead, Peter is asked to serve as bodyguard to a famous vampire romance novelist visiting the city. He doesn't go 24 hours before she's dead and he's the primary suspect. There's also evidence it was one of the most powerful vampires in the world.
Some days just hit you like a stake through the heart.
Set in the same world as the Bright Falls Mysteries.
"A fangtastic sequel!" (The Bookwyrm Speaks)

This time the stakes are higher. (sorry/not sorry)
Please excuse the pun, but it reflects the author's love of them, I think. This is the sequel to my favourite Vampire novel since the Vampire Lestat. Like book one, it's at once as dark as anything by Anne Rice and yet maintains a near constant pitch of humour. The setting is part of Phipps's "United States of Monsters" world which is a fascinating and original idea. In essence, vampires and other supernaturals have been "revealed" and are a *mostly* accepted part of society. The MC of this novel, like the first, is a vampire called Peter Stone. He is many things. Incredibly powerful vampire 'sheriff' of Detroit, convenience store worker, veteran with a conscience, total geek, and at heart a good man stuck being an evil monster and doing morally questionable things to save the world. All while wisecracking at a hundred miles an hour and making enough pop culture references it could make your head spin. For me, that all works fantastically well and this was a listen that kept me both gripped and chuckling throughout.
Final word comes down to the narration. Cary Hite is brilliant and is perfectly cast as the voice of Peter but also his vampire creator Thoth, his friend (now zombie) David, and the other characters. He carries off every instance of Peter's biting wit (I think this pun thing is contagious...) with aplomb.

Great follow up
This story is a great follow up to the first book in the series. The characters have grown, and there’s a good mix of plot, action and humour.
It also leads to a cliffhanger of a conclusion. Looking forward to Vampiraz4Life.

Even better than the first
Same great story and characters. Narrator really found his groove and his cadence improved significantly. I hope CT continues the series. Nearly as enjoyable as his supervillainy series.
