Glory St. Claire, Book 2
REAL VAMPIRES LIVE LARGE
Gerry Bartlett
Berkley
July 2007

Paperback
Paranormal Romance

 

This story delves further into the life of Glory St. Claire and the vampire community of Austin, Texas. The vampire Westwood is still after her and sets her vintage boutique on fire. But as if that wasn’t enough her on/off lover Jeremy Blade leaves town to hunt the vampire hunter, an ex lover stalks her and she has new enemies who want to steal her energy. You can say one thing, Glory’s life is really not boring. 

Ms. Bartlett created with Glory a Vampire with very human problems. She is always worrying if she is too curvaceous and is absolutely cute in the way she deals with things. 

Not only is Glory a funny and fascinating character but there are many great secondary characters, like Blade and Valdez.  

Normally this reviewer is not a huge fan of first person stories, but this one is really great. 

REAL VAMPIRES LIVE LARGE is even more action-filled, funny and hotter than the first book of the series. Sometimes it reminded the reviewer of a Vampire version of Sex in the City. 

The book is really fun, but this reviewer highly recommends reading REAL VAMPIRES HAVE CURVES prior to reading REAL VAMPIRES LIVE LARGE, otherwise you will sometimes lose the overview, because you don’t have some important background information concerning the relations between the characters. 

A small warning, Ms. Bartlett’s Vampire stories are very addictive and you won’t get enough of them so keep your eyes open for REAL VAMPIRES GET LUCKY, which will be released in June 2008.
