A striking red-head, 20-something Jody is attacked and transformed into a vampire while walking home one night in downtown San Francisco.

      Anyone who knows Moore's funny, sexy, sometimes-gory novel, about a newly made female vampire in San Francisco living with a slightly goofy wannabe writer, will at first find Susan Bennett's voice a bad match. She sounds too weak and wavering, and at times prissy and petulant, to be acting out this racy book, with its increasingly powerful heroine who is struggling against her mentor and nemesis, who is also a vampire. But the persistent listener will find that Bennett's skills--excellent pacing and expressiveness, good modulation, easy variation of character voices--mostly make up for any vocal flaws. The novel moves, the humor comes through, and the result, if not impressive, is satisfying and enjoyable. W.M. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine

      Horror, farce and adolescent fantasy mix with uncertain results in this latest offbeat novel from the author of Coyote Blue and Practical Demonkeeping. Attacked on her way home from work in San Francisco's financial district, sexy redhead Jody wakes up under a dumpster and gradually realizes that she has transformed into a vampire. Needing a safe place to hide from daylight and her attacker as she masters her new powers, she turns to Tommy, a 19-year-old aspiring writer from Indiana whom she's just met. Becoming lovers, the two get an apartment together where Tommy avidly studies the mysteries of both vampires and women. But Jody's vampire mentor, Elijah Ben Sapir, who's leaving blood-drained bodies all over the city, has it in for Tommy--as do the cops, who suspect the young man of the killings. With the aid of both the rebellious young misfits he works with and an eccentric homeless man, Tommy aims to vanquish Elijah Ben Sapir in order to save his beloved and himself. Moore's seemingly off-the-cuff narrative and plotting fail to deliver on an imaginative beginning. Despite offering some amusing moments, the author gives little depth to his motley cast of characters and wavers awkwardly between fable and satire.
