Charlotte Caine isn't called "the Vampire Chef" because she's a member of New York's undead community-she just cooks for them. Her restaurant, Nightlife, is poised to take the top slot in the world of "haute noir" cuisine. But when a drunk customer causes a scene, a glowing review from the city's top food critic doesn't seem likely-especially when that customer winds up dead on Nightlife's doorstep. Now, with her brother under suspicion for the murder, Charlotte has to re-open her restaurant and clear her brother's name-before they both become dinner.

It's somewhere between a 3.6 and a 3.8.This book has potential and I find that I like the main character's Type A personality. This is a New York book and the main character "lives" a few blocks away from me. If that block actually existed. Someone should've checked their Google Map.The mystery is i...
Strong start to what could be a very good series. Great mystery, great plot. The three main characters were very clearly established, but a lot of the secondary characters need more time to develop, I think. They didn't feel very strong to me. I'm looking forward to the next book and seeing where th...
