Love Bites

by Adrienne Barbeau

Love Bites Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

With her customary wit and dead-on satire, Barbeau skewers Hollywood and vamp lit alike, casting the paparazzi as werewolves and certain Hollywood “monsters” as the genuine article

Ovsanna Moore is a Hollywood siren, horror film legend, and cut-throat producer. She also happens to be a 450-year-old vampyre. In the follow-up to the much acclaimed Vampyres of Hollywood, Adrienne Barbeau paints a wonderfully sly portrait of cinematic vampyres, as well as the nature of celebrity, and the entertainment industry. Her “Scream Queen” credentials make her the only author who could combine such a fastpaced, edgy plot with tongue-in-cheek references to the inner workings and vanity of Hollywood. A whirlwind of action, Love Bites is a clever take on vampyres readers will never forget.

Review:

"'Scream Queen' Barbeau's sexy second mystery picks up where 2009's Vampyres of Hollywood left off. Ovsanna Hovannes Garabedian, a 500-year-old actress and studio head who serves as chatelaine of her Los Angeles vampyre clan, has fallen for Det. Peter King of the Beverly Hills PD. Ovsanna and Peter solved the case of the Cinema Slayer, but can't produce the perpetrator, as she melted into goo. Before they can act on their mutual attraction, Ovsanna and Peter have to find some way to close the case or Peter could lose his job. How is a budding romance to survive relentlessly job-seeking undead friends, weregators, an insanely jealous personal assistant, and eerie attack paparazzi? Barbeau drops plenty of Hollywood names to comic effect, and the fast and furious final pages will leave fans hoping for a third installment. (Sept.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright PWyxz LLC)
