First time: 13 bullets

I am a book junkie. A book junkie with a brand new e-book reader and an Internet connection. My purpose in life is now clear to me: I must read everything!

I just finished 13 Bullets by David Wellington.

At first glance, this story seems to have everything; lesbians, vampires, and lesbian vampires. It also abounds with action, gore, and poorly researched police procedures. And yet, all these elements lack any unifying theme-thingies.


Characters:

Caxton: The protagonist. Lesbian, state-trooper, reluctant vampire-hunter. She is a bit of a sissy, who grows a pair every now and then, before reverting to sissy-dom.

Arkeley: A cop with a grudge. Wants to kill vampires, that's about as deep as he gets.

Two dimensional interchangeable cast of characters: Everyone else.


Plot:
Spoiler Alert!

There are no spoilers, because everything happens exactly the way you thought it would. Except the things that don't, which tend to be a trifle disappointing.

I wouldn't recommend this book. It is not good vampire fiction, and lacks the redeeming qualities of bad vampire fiction. I do intend to read the sequel, 99 Coffins, but only because I intend to read everything.

Now Reading:
Sharp Teeth
by Toby Barlow

I'm twelve pages in, and really liking it so far.

Cheers!
