There's one character that drove me bananas and she was in the first chapter of the book so that pretty much started my bad mood with this book. Yes, she's a young girl who had bad things happen to her but it does not excuse her inconsiderate and very dangerous behavior with absolutely no remorse f...
Cool and different
When a curse zombifies much of Boston, the world is horrified. In this time of crisis, other supernatural beings (werewolves, vampires, witches, etc) agree to help humanity in exchange for a few rights. They still don't have equal rights, and they're segregated into areas (such as "Deadtown" in Bos...

Then her client is killed and Vicky finds herself facing an enemy from ...

It isn't a great book but I can see the potential for a great story and really good future stories. Nancy Holzner has a smooth flowing, easy to read style of writin...
