Because Your Vampire Said So - Book Review
Friday, July 11th, 2008I just finished reading Because Your Vampire Said So by Michele Bardsley, and I loved it.
I’ve read both of the previous books in the series previously (I’m the Vampire, That’s Why
It’s not very often that one sees vampires as normal, with human children to raise and protect, and I think it’s interesting to see how the different characters deal with raising their children in Broken Heart, Oklahoma, where just about the only human residents are the children of the vampires and lycanthropes that live in the town.
I also like how the series focuses on a different set of main characters each time - the familiar characters are still around, but it’s fun to “meet” the new characters, and learn more about characters that we’ve only met briefly in the previous books. We also get a chance to be with the vampires as they learn about their new abilities, and this book even managed to surprise me a little - I thought for sure Patsy couldn’t do something, and she did.
In Because Your Vampire Said So, Patsy Donahue, a 40 year old, single mother and the resident Broken Heart hairdresser - oh yeah she’s also a vampire, has to deal with a drug and alcohol addicted son while she fulfills her destiny - a destiny she doesn’t necessarily believe in.
Of course in Broken Heart, OK that destiny has to involve vampires and conflict.
The bad guys are at it again, and while Patsy helps save the city and her son, she also falls in love.
This was a light, fun read, and I read it in about 3 hours.
As I said before, I really enjoyed this book, and I’m looking forward to the next installment of the Broken Heart Series.
If you’ve read Because Your Vampire Said So, or any of Michele Bardsley’s books I’d love to know what you think about them.
Leave a comment and let me know.
