I enjoyed this book, though I did have to struggle to get through it at times. It didn't "grab me" like some other books. It's got a bit of a noir feel to it, with some sci-fi and horror thrown in. The basic premise is a vampire PI investigating a rash of nymphomania at a secret government facility. For a book about nymphomania outbreaks, there is surprisingly little sex, but it doesn't harm the book at all. The main character is interesting and well drawn, and the mystery is well done. Overall a good, funny book, but don't get it if you're expecting a romantic "paranormal" kind of book. This one is more Sam Spade than Anita Blake, regardless of the presence of vampires and dryads.

If you're one of the vast flock of vampire lovers currently buying books like crazy, you'll probably like this one. Personally, I think that a book with a title like "The Nymphos of Rocky Flats" should actually have a little sex in it. I didn't mind reading it, but I certainly didn't feel compelled to buy any more in the series.

A real page turner! A great fun read - not quite what one might expect from the title. The author may be writing stories about vampires from personal experience - he sure had me enthralled right from the start!
Caution! You may find this to be true also!

This is a literary novel masquerading as a genre vampire mystery, so don't be confused by the cover. The premise was interesting but I didn't care for the characters, nor did I find it particularly funny. The main character could have been so much more interesting, but he just seemed flat; actually all the characters struck the same chord with me. I liked the world-building, and that's what kept me reading to the conclusion.
