Book Review: Wicked Game by Jeri Smith-Ready

Wicked Game by Jeri Smith-Ready

Wicked Game is a fun and often funny vampire adventure with a side of romance. I really enjoyed this book a lot.

The main character Ciara Griffin is a con artist and college student trying to do the legit job thing when she gets and internship at WVMP.

WVMP is a radio station where the DJs are all vampires.

The vampires in this world are of the mostly traditional variety. Sunlight does kill them, holy water can hurt them and they of course drink blood.

The twist here is that he vampires are all forever stuck in the eras they were embraced in and have the tendency to fade or go crazy eventually.

Ciara needs to save the radio station from being bought out by a huge conglomerate called Skywave. Unfortunately money isn’t the only thing standing in the way of the safety of WVMP.

I really loved the characters in this book (which is pretty much the most important thing for me as a reader); the vamps and non-vamps.

I highly recommend this book and I’m really looking forward to reading the next in the series; Bad to the Bone which comes out in May 2009. I was also thrilled to find out that there are two more books contracted after that!
