Resumen del Editor

Raylene Pendle (AKA Cheshire Red), a vampire and world-renowned thief, doesn’t usually hang with her own kind. She’s too busy stealing priceless art and rare jewels. But when the infuriatingly charming Ian Stott asks for help, Raylene finds him impossible to resist - even though Ian doesn’t want precious artifacts. He wants her to retrieve missing government files: documents that deal with the secret biological experiments that left Ian blind. What Raylene doesn’t bargain for is a case that takes her from the frozen outskirts of Minneapolis to the mean streets of Atlanta. And with a psychotic, power-hungry scientist on her trail, a kick-ass drag queen on her side, and Men in Black popping up at the most inconvenient moments, the case proves to be one hell of a ride.

Just okay

I wasn't impressed with this, my first book by Cherie Priest. It was fine and I finished it, but won't read another. I had trouble buying in to a vampire who was supposed to be the best thief ever, but suffered from the cold, had panic attacks, was clumsy at times and made some pretty dumb decisions. I did not find the humor that others wrote about. The narrator did well and had a pleasant voice, which helped. A bit too much ruminating on the part of the heroine, and some odd lines like this metaphor, "slick as whale s**t through an ice flow." Huh?

slow starter

This book started out slow and I had just about given up on this book altogether before it picked up a bit. It seemed as if the main character was even bored with the story of her life. By the end I started to care what happened to the secondary characters but the main character still seemed cold and not very likable. I really wanted to like this book but in the end I don't think I will continue any further with this series.
