Night Hunter

by Michael Reaves

The dead boy was one of the Hollywood Boulevard street people, a young hustler no one had cared much about while he was alive. But when he is found in a sleazy motel room with a stake through his heart and a bulb of garlic in his mouth, he becomes famous as the Night Hunter's first victim.
The media goes wild. Here is a murderer made to order in the land of fantasy and special a modern-day Van Helsing, hunting vampires in the Hollywood night.
Police detective Jake Hull has seen it all - or so he thought, until he pulled the Night Hunter case; two victims so far, and who knows how many more to come. To catch this killer, he too must haunt the night streets, delve into occult societies, and learn more than he ever wanted to know about the supernatural.
Jake Hull doesn't believe in vampires.
Not yet.

[David Bonesteel · Rating 2 out of 5]

This one really drags. The characters are all stereotypes moving through a milieu of Los Angeles street life that reads as if it were lifted straight from movies about Los Angeles street life. All of this could be forgiven if it moved quickly and was done with style. However, there was too much uninteresting characterization and hardly any action at all.

The best part of this book was Jake Hull. He was my favorite :P
This book wasn't as much of a "sucking good read" as the cover made me hope it was XD
Oh well.

This was an Ok book. I wasn't bored, like I genuinely wanted to finish it, it wasn't boring or anything.
While the plot did make sense, it lacked some flavor, like there was nothing special.
But overall, I would read it again, if I was absolutely bored and had no other book around.

It was a 'sucking good read'. I loved the suspense. But, I love vampire anything.
