Wicked Game
Author: Jeri Smith-Ready
Publisher: Pocket Books Fantasy

Rating: 8/10

With such a glut of vampire-themed novels, it’s easy to let them fade into the background, so to speak. This is not the case with “Wicked Game”. Jeri-Smith Ready’s sixth novel since “Requiem For The Devil”, is a musically themed romp featuring so many twists it will be hard for any mortal to put down.

Now, well over a century later, author Samuel Stall has revisited the saga of Van Helsing, Jon and Mina Harker in “Dracula’s Heir“. Only this time, a game’s afoot , and Sam is taking us all for ride. A long, hands on ride.

Not a lot of people can say that their parents brag about what their children do for a living, but I don’t have that problem. My dad introduces me as his daughter the famous author and my mom proudly tells folks, when asked, that her daughter is the vampirologist they saw on Discovery Channel.
