Customer Reviews

Awesome, Plain and simple

Mario Acevedo is one of my favorite authors, and he continues to deliver. So far the series has been absolutely amazing. I finished Jailbait zombie in a single night, and it is not a short book. I could not put down.. Highly recommend all of this series..

Realistic...no...really...

No, really realistic. You see, Felix Gomez is a vampire. You know that, otherwise how did you get this far in the series? A Vet, a vampire and REALLY good at kicking butt. But there is always somebody bigger than you, somebody with bigger boots and no problems with using them. Felix Gomez, in this book, ends up going against powers that make all the other plots look simple. And I am not just talking about the zombies. Still full of the blood, cool guns and fights, yet, once again, don't believe the cover. This has one sex scene but is not oozing with it. The story is all important - nothing is over done and yet nothing is wasted. Sex is not used as filler like it is in HBO's TrueBlood. Felix may be a Hero but he is less than perfect. And, like in the other books, sometimes victory isn't about winning as much as not losing. And that makes for a good story, a good ending, and a lot of character development.

Fast paced fun with a great ending

This is another fun, fast paced installment from Acevedo. A great blend of tempo, suspense, and humor.

FELIX Does it Again........................

This is a super novel and a great read,,need more authors likes this,good form and great body...very smooth to the mind..........

zany urban fantasy Noir

His superiors at the worldwide vampiric association the Araneum send private investigator Felix Gomez to Denver. His assignment is two-fold. First the vampire is to destroy a zombie infestation in the Mile High City and suburbs like Aurora; and more important insure the maker is out of the reanimation business permanently. Felix begins to follow the deadly Zombie path which leads him to teenage Phaedra Nardoni, who is dying from Huntington's chorea. The sixteen years old sends Felix on a hallucinatory spin back to his days as a grunt in Iraq. She threatens to keep piling on the illusionary flashbacks until she dies unless he converts her to an undead. Before he can decide what to do, the zombie creator abducts Felix. The fourth Gomez urban fantasy (and Rocky Mountains) Noir (see X-RATED BLOODSUCKERS, THE NYMPHOS OF ROCKY FLATS and THE UNDEAD KAMA SUTRA) is as zany as the private investigator's previous cases. Besides dealing with zombies and their reanimator, Felix must cope with a brilliant, talented but dying teen that provides the "jailbait" aspects of the title. As always in this wacky but always entreating series filled with blood, gore and an over the top of the Rockies premise; this time even George Romero will take notice of controlling the world domination through zombies in space.
