Nocturnal Book Reviews

I reckon that Lynda finally found perfect middle ground with this series. Last year when I reviewed The Vampire Shrink it was heavily leaning towards paranormal romance, albeit quite an awkward one.

Blood Therapy feels like a better, stronger book. Although it's still cross-genre between paranormal comedy and mystery, PNR factor is diminished to the point of it being almost farcical.

Not surprisingly I really enjoyed this book, once I let go of all my expectations, and I'm sure you'll do too. Kismet has a full life having to deal with her stunningly beautiful and perfect in every way master vampire as a lover, but as a psychologist she sees that his confidence and sense of well-being is slowly unravelling because he failed to catch and still can't track a serial killer vampire who attacked him and Kismet few months ago.

Kismet's vampire self-help group also doesn't work as well as she hoped. Some of her patients hoard dead bodies like toy soldiers, others keep trying to kill themselves or fail to move out from their overweight masters who remind them of their mothers... It's a frustrating mess, but someone has to clean it up.

Not only Lucifer is still after our psychologist, she finds out the unfortunate truth that unless she learns how to protect her brain from Devereux's power, sooner or later it will turn to mush. What a revelation, and in a middle of a vampire ball hosted by Brad and Angelina, no less!

Poor Kismet is desperate for any help, be that from an overly-amorous FBI buddy, mystical zen-vampire in charge of vampire library or even perverted Dracula... Plus the annual Psychology convention is coming up, and someone keep killing pretty psychologists.

Crazy, twisted fun. Recommended.
