One bad corpse can ruin your whole day. No one knows that better than Rhiannon Murphy. She’s left behind the flash and sass of Miami for the no-nonsense groove of New York City, eager for a clean slate and a fresh start. A bartender by trade, a loud mouth by choice, and a necromancer by chance; she’s managed to keep her nifty talent hidden from those around her – until now. 

The deliciously good-looking vampire Disco knows her secret, and when he strolls into her bar to solicit help investigating the mysterious disappearances of his kind from the city, she discovers he’s not the kind of person that appreciates the significance of the word no. 

But in a world where vampires peddle their blood as the latest and greatest drug of choice, it’s only a matter of time before the next big thing hits the market. Someone or something is killing vampires to steal their hearts, and unlike Rhiannon, this isn’t their first stroll around the undead block.

There is nothing simple about Rhiannon and she doesn't seem to get a break. She had a troubled past and she hides behind a tough-girl attitude and a blunt and crude mouth. There is a ton of character development that helps you get to know the various characters and there are quite a bit of them. There is a bit of slowness in the beginning of the book but I'm telling you to stick in there because it picks up fast and will blow your reading mind. Now the ending has a HUGE Cliffhanger, If I could use an emoticon It would be the guy with it's eyes bugging out. I mean HOLY CRAP, Why do authors do this to us poor readers its ridiculous I tell you. And for those who already read the book Who the heck would pick that number?? Really?? THE RENFIELD SYNDROME cant come out soon enough.

 I gave it a 4/5 Stars
