The Undead Kama Sutra<\/a><\/em> (2008) Mario Acevedo<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Felix Gomez is again on the case–or rather cases as his luck would have it. First a dying alien asks Felix to find his killer, then orders come down from the Araneum too looking into a plane crash. Meanwhile, he’d come to Florida on his own to investigate a rumor of a book called the Undead Kama Sutra–possibly being put together by ancient manuscripts by his friend Carmen Arellano–that might change the lives of vampires everywhere.<\/p>\n

While in Florida, he discovers that some vampires have discovered a way escape the curse of burning in the sunlight. Is it the Undead Kama Sutra? Is the effect permanent? What of the aliens? What do they want? <\/p>\n

I can’t say this is my favorite book in this series so far. There’s lots of sex (par for the course for this series [and most vampire series to be honest]) but I expected that (after all, the title pretty much advertises vampire sex). What bothered me about this story was 1) even after the explanations, I’m still not sure parts of the story made sense and 2) the story didn’t feel completely resolved, which left me of two minds. If the story is, in fact, resolved, and that is where things are to be left, I’m fine with the ending. But if the ending was instead a come hither for the next book in the series? Well, then I’m annoyed.
