X-Rated Bloodsuckers<\/em> (2007) Mario Acevedo<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Felix Gomez went to Iraq a soldier but returned a vampire, so with his unique skill set, decided that becoming a private eye would be the best career he could make.<\/p>\n

He’s good enough that he can choose the cases he wants, but is intrigued when Katz Meow asks him to discovered who murdered her friend and so takes on that case. Little does he know that things are far more complicated that the death of an aging porn star.<\/p>\n

When I read The Nymphos of Rock Flats<\/em> I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, and so wasn’t sure how I felt about the book. I knew what to expect with X-Rated Bloodsuckers<\/em>, which is why I think I enjoyed it far more than the first book. Felix is crass and bawdy but amusing and not so bad aside from being a vampire and the books about him are a fun romp.<\/p>\n

The other reason I think I preferred this book is now that Felix has gotten over his issues from the first book, he’s able to better able to deal with others, so we see him working not just with Coyote (who is very much the Coyote of folklore) but trying to develop some sort of relationship with a human woman.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a fun romp with a vampire PI, then you may want to try Mario Acevedo. But I recommend you start with The Nymphos of Rock Flats<\/em>, not because you won’t be able to follow this story–you most certainly will–but because I think it will give you a better understanding of who Feliz is in this book.
