I finished a paranormal romance fantasy book today whose title says it all: Michelle Rowan has come up with the second novel in her series Immortality Bites, entitled Fanged and Fabulous. I may be a bit biased since the title aptly describes yours truly!

The Story:

Poor Sarah Dearly was turned into a vampire on a really bad blind date and is then almost immediately stalked by a vampire hunter dead-set on killing her. Interestingly enough, the vampire hunter in question, Quinn, winds up getting turned into a vampire himself and soon becomes infatuated with Sarah.

However, Sarah is in love with a vampire named Thierry, a gorgeous and mysterious lover who’s over 700 years old but doesn’t look a day over 30.

In Fanged and Fabulous Sarah begins to understand her new found vampire powers; she’s also thoroughly enjoying her love affair with Thierry. She’s even happier to find out that Thierry’s wife is moving back to France. Yes, I said wife. Thierry is married.

However with wifey out of the picture things are going well for Sarah. Until another vampire hunter tries to kill her that is. It seems like this is going to be another typical high speed chase, with Sarah quipping smart remarks the whole time as she eludes the hunter. That is, until he hears her name and begs her not to kill HIM. It’s then that Sarah discovers that the whole vampire hunter world considers her the “true” hunter slayer. This false impression stems from a huge altercation that occurred soon after she was turned. She somehow managed to kill a single hunter in that fight but the story somehow got ballooned into nine hunters. Needless to say, the whole vampire slayer world considers her a big threat and there’s a large bounty on her head; they want her dead.

If that problem wasn’t enough, Thierry seems to be losing interest in spending time with her and she can’t get any time alone with him to talk about this matter. On top of that, Quinn conveniently pops back into the picture, professing his feelings of true love.

This is a witty and amusing book that I finished in one sitting - or is that, one “rising”? Anyway, there’s nothing more entertaining than a girl vampire who has two gorgeous vampires from which to choose (Sarah reminds me of myself). In this novel we have a female vampire with a price on her head, two gorgeous vampires fighting over her and did I fail to mention that there are bodies that keep turning up all drained of blood - as if she didn’t already have enough problems! This is a fun mystery/thriller/romance fantasy book and I think Sarah is going to be around for quite a while.

Check out Fanged and Fabulous at Amazon.
