Wicked Game centers on the life of Ciara Griffin, an older (26) college student who is majoring in marketing and has just found herself a job at a local radio station. Being an urban fantasy, nothing is as it first seems - the DJs at the radio station are all vampires, and Ciara is a reformed (sort of) grifter. The author puts a nice spin on the conventional vampire myth - each of the vampires is stuck in the timeperiod they were turned, unable to move forward with the rest of the world into the present time. this means they all play music from their era only and develop a half-amusing, half-tragic case of OCD. This is the least of their problems. Usually even when I'm enjoying a book I can put it down, but this book made me want to just immerse myself in it. I was always curious what was going to happen next, and that hasn't happened in a while. I recommend it for those who liked Emma Bull's War for the Oaks.
