Scent of a Vampire is cool, fun, sexy and original.
This is the first book I've read of Jude Stephens' and I'm already a fan. Her writing is easy, laugh-out-loud funny, and sexy. The characters are intriguing and so is the plot. I was engaged from the opening line, and there were parts where I found myself turning pages so quickly I could have been sitting in front of an electric fan.
With Scent of a Vampire, Stephens gives us not just one vampire and a heroine that has skills no one else seems to notice -- as you may find in much of the genre -- but the author provides two vampires, and a heroine with a skillset so strong that a group of fanatics named the Guardians want her power to creative their own species, all while exploring vampire myths of Native American legends, a cannon of legend that is otherwise woefully under-recognized and which I've never seen before.
The Scent of a Vampire is pure perfume!
