Unemployed con-artist Ciara Griffin gets a job at local radio station WMMP as a marketing intern whose goal is to revamp (pun intended) the radio station which has been flagging and is for sale by the owner. When Ciara meets the real vampires behind the music, she has a brilliant idea. Why not use the vampires and their musical talents as a gimmick. Each vampire is stuck in the year he was turned (50s, 60s, 70s, etc) so they know that generations music inside and out. They currently play music during the overnight when most people are sleeping. The new stick is to "be vampires" and have press conferences and musical displays outside of the radio station, redubbed WVMP! This is a huge success until rival vampires protest and kidnap Ciara.

I enjoyed this easy to read book, the pages just flew by and the characters are great. Vampire or not, I really liked Shane as Ciara's romantic interest. Like everyone else, he has his problems but then again so does Ciara...especially when her conman father shows up in town. I found this to be really funny and laughed out loud at some of Ciara's antics. A wonderful start to the WVMP series.
