I must admit that I did buy this book for its cover. I also must admit that I was disappointed. I suppose I was expecting it to be less kitschy than it was. I found myself doing mental eye rolls all throughout the novel.

The plot for me fell apart in a lot of places. I was surprised because I have heard such good things about Christopher Moore. The characters seemed to bumble about without much direction. I understand that he probably wanted to surprise the reader a bit in the ending, but he sacrificed the story quite a bit in that respect.

Jody, a sultry redheaded bloodsucker decides to turn her boyfriend Tommy into a bloodsucker so they can be together forever. She didn't however ask him first and he is none too thrilled to be thrown into this position.

Trouble is near as Jodi is being hunted by Elijah, an ancient Vampire that is pissed off because she broke the rules and turned Tommy. Tommy's crones from his warehouse job suspect Tommy of being a Vampire now and are trying to hunt him down.

Jodi and Tommy have to find a lamb to be a personal assistant for them and find them new housing, also occasionally providing them with blood. They find a little goth girl Abby Normal. She is about the funniest character in the book. Without her added to the mix I might have quit halfway through.

If anyone knows of any Christopher Moore books that are actually good, I might give him another chance. Overall I would say pass on this book.
