Zen and the Art of Vampires

December 1, 2008
Pia decides to charge her love life on a singles tour of Iceland. She hits the jackpot with gorgeousAlec. The morning after, however, reveals a missing Alec and a dead body. Alecs friend Kristoff helps her stay ahead of the police until she can solve this mystery. He seems to want nothing to do with her, yet they find themselves irresistibly drawn together. MacAlister continues her Dark Ones series (The Last of the Red Hot Vampires, 2007) with a reverse take on her Aisling Grey series. Unfortunately, though the sex is steamy, the romantic tension is weak. MacAlister is at her best here in conveyingPias vulnerable-yet-tough personality.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2008, American Library Association.)
