My New Favorite Series!

Being a single mother is hard enough. Now try being an undead single mother who bursts into flames at the first whisper of sunlight, and has to drink blood to survive while raising a teenager. Yes, Eva LeRoy, town librarian at Broken Heart, Oklahoma is a vampire. Everyone is adjusting pretty well, except for the rogue group trying to kill her and/or use her new special abilities for their gain. And oddly enough, the only man who really makes her undead heart go pitter pat is the vampire who killed her. Let me just get all the crazy gushing out of the way. I was completely enamored with this book from the first page, possibly even the first paragraph. The author had me at "once upon a time". I can't remember the last time a book grabbed me by the throat and sunk it's fangs in this deep! Okay, now on to the business end of this review. It was unusual for me to start with the second book in any series, but I was wacky this time and did the unthinkable. These books do stand alone, thank goodness, but I'll be picking up I'm the Vampire That's Why as soon as stores open at the crack of dawn. I just love paranormal romance with a sense of humor. It's sometimes embarrassing when I'm sitting in the car waiting in line and I start laughing like a crazy person while people point and stare, but in this case, it was worth it. I am too nice of a person to name names, but for me, this series has replaced another one about a vampire with a certain shoe fetish and a cranky demeanor. I'm sorry, but it had to be said. Is there anything sexier than a brooding Irish vampire? Yeah, I didn't think so. The chemistry between Eva and Lorcan O'Halloran is sizzling. While Lorcan has some major guilt for murdering Eva (oops, but it wasn't really his fault, he was sick with The Taint, a debilitating vampire disease), he still manages to be sensual and appealing. Especially to Eva. Ironic, no? Eva is a fun character and surprisingly easy to relate to considering she's a vampire. Her personality leaps off the pages. What fantastic and unique use of vocabulary! The author has got to be a serious logophile. Since Eva is a librarian, there was plenty of opportunity for her to flex her verbal muscles and I ate it up like it was candy. I'm looking forward to spending a lot more time in Broken Heart, Oklahoma and I recommend that you do the same! Review courtesy of CK2S Kwips and Kritiques

This Series Just Got Better!

OK, I'll admit...the first book was ok. Nothing spectacular, but a decent read. The second book in the series, "Don't Talk Back to Your Vampire" vastly improved the series. The character depth increased, causing me, as a reader, to empathize with Eva's situation. There are quite a few "laugh out loud" moments in the book, especially Eva's interactions with her daughter, Tamara, a typical angst-ridden teen chock full o' eyerolls and whatevers (this character reminded me a lot of my own 13 yr old daughter!). All in all, a fast and funny read!

Fangtastic !!!!!

Michele has did it again with her Broken Heart Vampire series. This one has action, humor, and spice.. and did I mention a super hot emo vampire named Lorcan. I loved it ! I give it 5 Chocolate fangs lol.

Amazing Book!

I could not put this book down and finished it the day I got it. In this sequel to I'm the Vampire, That's Why, we get to know some of the other citizens of Broken Heart and to know them is to love them. This time, the story focuses on Eva, the town librarian. I absolutely loved the interaction between Eva and her teenage daughter who has adjusted amazingly well to having a mother who is a vampire. This story grabs hold of you and does not let go until you have turned the very last page. It is a fantastic ride and I cannot wait for the next Broken Heart adventure. Michele Bardsley rocks!!

Fabulous series, wonderful story!

This is the second story, a follow up to I'm The Vampire, That's Why, which I also loved. This is a stand alone so you don't have to have read the first one (although I DO recommend it! ;). Eva LeRoy is the town librarian and was turned into a vampire. She still runs the library and cares for her teenage daughter (who's funny too and falls for a vampire hunter). She's a single mom who hasn't had a man in her life in a long time. Lorcan is a handsome vamp who's been healed from 'the taint' which cause him to kill Eva and 11 other members of the community and he's guilt ridden although still VERY sexy. Eva has the rare ability to communicate with animals and because of this there are some bad vamps after her. Lorcan has sworn to protect her while everyone (Patrick and Jessica from the last book included) tries to figure out what's going on. I loved this story! It's hilarious, hip and touching too. Wonderful characters, wonderful story and highly recommended!
