Just finished reading Jackson and Eva and here is my review:
This tale is a delicious concoction, liberally salted with spicy horror and a dash of humor. It is to be consumed with a a generous compassion for the endearingly villainous vampires, who makes me suspect one of two things: either they are human, like me, or I am one of them. Either way, I loved that the characters, both the mortal and the immortal ones, have faults, which makes them so close that the smell of blood is palpable. Jackson and Eva love to hate each other, and the two vampires, Mr. A. and his wife Elizabetta are non more loving. The pain of divorce can be felt on both sides of the divide.
The author continues to explore the universe she has created in earlier works, but this time it has blossomed into a full length novel, written with quirky wit and originality.

Five stars.
