Supernatural Vigilante Society #1
Be Counted
Life sucks and then you die. Sort of.
Valentino Crispo loves Mom’s Italian cooking, sun on the beach, and working for the Cranston Police Department. He loses it all after getting vamped. Now, he’s the noobiest vampire in Providence.
When a hitwoman apparently shoots his dad and one of Cranston’s Finest on the same night, Tino stops letting vampirism bite him. He’ll mix supernatural and PD skills to solve the crime. But he hasn’t got the hang of being a vampire yet.
The mystery of whodunit and why is tied up with Tino’s own turning. The Providence vampire elders hate nosy vamps almost as much as new ones. Will Valentino stand up and be counted or add to the body count?

Campy good
The story was campy but not bad. I like Tino and his friends. I like the idea of a PI vampire. The ending was left a little unresolved. I hope they rap up loose ends in the next book.

Aaaahh campy, fun, Dresden paced. Noob vampire deals with life, family, friends, and assassinations with healthy dose of confusion and snark.

A hilarious and thoroughly enjoyable start to a new (to me) series by D.R. Perry. Tino is an immensely likeable protagonist as a recently turned vampire. He's trying to balance his new undead life with his former life, including spending time with old friends and his parents, all while stil tyring to figure out how to maintain his job as a P.I.
There is a lot he has to figure out in this new balance especially when his dad gets shot. investigating it, and dealing with all the new surprises (such as werewolves, magicians, and vampire politics) he is now privy to as a vampire makes for a fun read.

She’s really very good, very funny, and, as we say in up north, wicket smaht. This is the second book I’ve read by this author, the first being A Change In Crime. I liked this one better, with a couple of exceptions.
1) Errors in name and age. The main character’s sidekick is either named Scott or Patrick. His ex-partner’s partner is named Weintraub or Tierney. The main character himself is, I think, 25 or so, which is way too young to make detective; and his best friend, who is the same age, acts much, much older.
2) Snarky goes so far At first, the snarky comments were amusing. Then they just got irritating. I’m impressed that the author kept up that level of snark, because I couldn’t.
3) Personal preferences. No chapter titles/numbers. Formatting on the Kindle created no indentation of paragraphs. And most of all, the entire novel is in present tense. That is something I can’t do at all and, again, I am impressed by it.
I gave it four stars because I liked the premise, the writing was good, and something I might want to emulate. But, mind you, I didn’t finish the book. Why? The snark level had gotten to me.

This is a fun, quirky vampire novel with a great sense of humour. The characters were awesome and this book sets up their world well for the series. A fresh and entertaining read, that I highly recommend to fans of paranormal detective series!

Finished this one the other night. If you need a quick light read with a touch of the classics, this is one for you. Shinigami approved!

I enjoyed Be Counted. It isn't my usual sort of book but I enjoyed the humour and unfolding story and I'm looking forward to reading the next one.
