Customer Reviews

Great read. Funny all the way through

Glory is her same funny sarcastic self but having a few doubt about her current man. And is starting to wonder about greener pastures. I found it fun and interesting being in her head during those time and am looking forward to the next book.

Love it

A must read...Glory is the best vamp ever...holding down a new business, boyfriend, pretend rockstar boyfriend, shoe fetish and vamp killers it cant be easy for anybody...Glory will have you laughing out loud...cant wait for the next book..thanks Gerry for sharing Glory with all of us!!

My favorite book in the series yet!!! 6 STARS!!!

As I said in my review of the last book, these books just keep getting better and better! I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. I didn't put this book down once... literally. I started and didn't put it down until I was finished. I was actually sad when I realized I was at the last page! Glory has a huge accomplishment in this book and it was exciting that she was the one to make it happen. She's growing... slowly but surely! Her "relationship" with Isreal Caine is an interesting part of the story and tests her relationship with Blade! (That's who I'm rooting for at this point!) We have super steamy hot lovin', bad guys, action and a whole lotta sexy vampires. (And a pretty cute labradoodle!) This book would be good as a stand alone but if you read from the first book, you get to know the characters and their quirks! This whole series is just fantastic and would be a great addition to any library!

Another Great Glory Book!

Glory St. Clair is back for more hilarious vampire misadventures. Glory's plans for a romantic New Year's Eve fizzle out like a flat bottle of champagne. Her on-again, off-again hunky highlander boyfriend, Jeremy Blade, must rescue his supposed daughter. Dateless and ticked, Glory decides to spend the evening watching chick flicks to the annoyance of her trusty guard dog Valdez. But even these plans go awry when she learns newbie vampire and rock star Ray Caine is getting drunk. Knowing the booze will lead to the hang-over from Hades, Glory rushes off to Ray's wild soiree to save him. A nocturnal boat ride with Ray on Lake Travis turns awry when a hideous siren named Aggie lures them with her call and then paralyzes them. Aggie needs to deliver three vampires to Circe in order to break a curse. Ray manages to sweeten up Aggie by singing to her. Now he and Glory must find three replacement male vamps for Aggie or risk the wrath of Circe. They're determined to deliver some bad vamps (readers of the other Real Vampire books will recall the evil energy vamps). To do so, Ray and Glory enter into a faux engagement. The fourth installment of the Real Vampires series is every bit as fun and fast-paced as the previous books. New readers will catch on quickly and will want to snatch up the other books as well.

REAL VAMPIRES ROCK

If you are new to the REAL VAMPIRE books, witty dialogue, fascinating snippets of history and a captivating cast of characters are just a few of the reasons all four books are a must read! Each stands alone, but read one and you'll be hooked. If you are already a Glory fan, REAL VAMPIRES DON'T DIET is populated with familiar friends and foes while adding a sinister new villain with the ability to freeze victims into living statues. When a family emergency forces Glory's boyfriend, Blade, to fly off to Europe on New Year's Eve, she expects to spend a quiet evening watching chick flicks. A phone call from pop star Ray Caine, a newly turned vampire who Glory has taken under her wing, causes her to rush to his lake house, where a party is in full swing. Alcohol is like poison to vampires. Ray is feeling depressed and well on the way to being drunk when Glory arrives. Needing a safe distraction, Glory agrees to go for a midnight boat ride with Ray. Unfortunately, their trip puts them in the path of a Siren who has been cursed by the Goddess of Night. To break the curse, the Siren must deliver three vampires to the Goddess. Fortunately, even Sirens swoon under the spell of Ray's love songs, which enables him to make a deal - Ray and Glory have until the next full moon to deliver three replacement vampires to the Siren or they will be sacrificed to the Goddess. WORSE, they are now forcibly compelled to answer the Siren's call. Regardless of what they are doing, how far away they go, day or night, when the Siren calls it is impossible for Glory and Ray not to respond. With the clock ticking, Glory and Ray must pose as an engaged couple to fool an old enemy, the head of the Energy Vampires, with hopes of luring him and couple of his cohorts into the Siren's web. Energy Vampires are the "human" equivalent to drug pushers. Having three fewer on the streets of Austin would be a good thing and solve their problem. Only the fickle Goddess decides that one of the sacrificial vampires must be Casanova - the brother of Flo, Glory's friend and roommate. If the situation weren't bad enough, Glory never found the opportunity to tell Blade about the `pretend' engagement to Ray, and he returns from Europe to find Glory and Ray in a very compromising situation. Will Glory find a way to satisfy the Siren's demands, save Flo's brother and win Blade's forgiveness? Don't miss this exciting and fun adventure with Glory St. Claire!
