Blood Gamble
Blood Gamble | Melissa F. Olson
3 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
If there is one city that Scarlett Bernard hates, it’s Las Vegas. But when the cardinal vampire of Los Angeles convinces her to go investigate a new vampire-themed stage show, Scarlett quickly finds herself shoulder-deep in sequins, slot machines, and Old World intrigue. The show’s creators are vampire celebrities Arthur and Lucy Holmwood, who once inspired characters from the original Dracula. Now, however, they have no qualms about announcing their true status to the human world, endangering the secrecy of the Old World and Scarlett’s mission to keep it hidden. But before she can begin untangling the Holmwoods’ motives, Scarlett also discovers that their new production has attracted more than just fans: Las Vegas’s many vampires are suddenly disappearing, and rumors are flying that actual vampire hunters may have followed Arthur and Lucy to town. Now, without her allies, her bargest, or her frequent partner Jesse Cruz, Scarlett must navigate a new underworld of secrets and murders in a city where nothing is ever as it seems. And the stakes have never been higher.

I'm only on chapter 14, but this one is hitting me right. I hope it stays this way. It seems like alot of the books I read have strong female leads, but they all want the same stereotypical girl things. Right now Scarlett is striking me as much more independent minded. I'm not sure exactly what it is. More reading today I hope.

Scarlett works in the supernatural world. In this book she takes a freelance gig that gives the author a chance to tell us a lot about Scarlett's backstory. Olson moves the mythos of the "Old World" along by creating an unstable situation between Scarlett's home city, LA, and Las Vegas. This is a "popcorn book" done well.

Full review of this and Midnight Curse (first in series) at www.TheBibliophage.com.
