My rating: 4 of 5 stars
“You killed me! You suck!”
With an opener like that, what can go wrong? The answer is ultimately very little. Christopher Moore applies his usual talents in taking the fantastic and mythic and bringing it down to a basic, human (or nearly so) level with fine form here, the second volume of the A Love Story trilogy. A pair of vampire lovers, when confronted with mundane things like goth fangirls eager to appease their dark masters, getting back a security deposit, and dealing with their former friends (and turkey bowling champions) who have of late become vampire hunters and problem gamblers, are made to deal with things in a far less supernatural fashion than one might expect… though there’s plenty of inappropriate uses of super strength, speed, and stamina on display here, as well as more than a few tantalizing and titillating saucy bits.
All in all a highly entertaining read that frequently had me laughing, and kept the pages turning steadily until the end, and well worth your time if you’re in any way interested in satire, urban fantasy, or Christopher Moore’s other works. Give it a try.
