The Host #1
The Host
Investigative reporter Jane Weston has a problem. Wherever she goes, the undead follow. They’ve cost her several well-paying, high-profile jobs in metropolitan areas, but she was sure that she would escape them when she took a job at WGBN in Jones Port, Arkansas. No such luck! It seems these blood-sucking night dwellers will follow their “host” to the end of the civilized world - and even beyond.
Tracy Cohen is the rabbi of the small Jewish congregation in Jones Port. Tracy lost a lover to gang violence in New York and was rejected by her orthodox family because of her sexual
orientation. Tracy’s life has been filled with turmoil, but nothing has prepared her to do battle with the undead in the streets of Jones Port, for the soul of an investigative reporter.

New take on the vampire mythology, with a lesbian rabbi killing the undead.
This was a lot of fun. Not all the characters were lesbians, but all were interesting and all worked with the story. The main character is a rabbi who is the centre of the group. She's an interesting character who seems to collect misfits which makes it much more fun. She has a firm belief, likes reading the Kabbalah, and happens to be a lesbian.
This is a fight between good and evil, played out among the cities of America. The good, Tracy and her band of misfits, face off against a vicious gang of soul-dead humans who prey on humanity to spread the fear they feed upon. It's an interesting take on the vampire mythology. I liked that the leader of the gang was Jewish rather than Christian, and not holier-than-thou which would have killed it for me.
I like this book much more than the crappy cover would suggest. And I enjoyed the next two books in the series too.
