Ilustration Supposing Books Wicked Game (WVMP Radio #1)
LATE NIGHT RADIO YOU CAN SINK YOUR TEETH INTO Recovering con artist Ciara Griffin is trying to live the straight life, even if it means finding a (shudder!) real job. She takes an internship at a local radio station, whose late-night time-warp format features 1940s blues, '60s psychedelia, '80s goth, and more, all with an uncannily authentic flair. Ciara soon discovers just how the DJs maintain their cred: they're vampires, stuck forever in the eras in which they were turned. Ciara's first instinct, as always, is to cut and run. But communications giant Skywave wants to buy WVMP and turn it into just another hit-playing clone. Without the station — and the link it provides to their original Life Times — the vampires would "fade," becoming little more than mindless ghosts of the past. Suddenly a routine corporate takeover is a matter of life and undeath. To boost ratings and save the lives of her strange new friends, Ciara rebrands the station as "WVMP, the Lifeblood of Rock 'n' Roll." In the ultimate con, she hides the DJs' vampire nature in plain sight, disguising the bloody truth as a marketing gimmick. WVMP becomes the hottest thing around — next to Ciara's complicated affair with grunge vamp Shane McAllister. But the "gimmick" enrages a posse of ancient and powerful vampires who aren't so eager to be brought into the light. Soon the stakes are higher — and the perils graver — than any con game Ciara's ever played...Rating Epithetical Books Wicked Game (WVMP Radio #1)

Re-read for 2018 "If All Kent County Read the Same Book"Man, these are hard to classify sometimes.This is one of the better paranormal books I've read. It focuses solely on vampires - no werewolves, no witches, no gremlins etc. - and does a really great job of it. There is significantly less angst than in a lot of vampire-related stuff, and yet there is still romance (and sex), lots of humor, and an interesting, entertaining story. There were some REALLY amusing scenes, which I won't describe because I wouldn't want to ruin it for anyone.I liked Jeri
Read this review at Smash Attack Reads! http://www.smashattackreads.com/2011/...The thing that sold me on this book was the vampires. Yes, weve got a bazillion vampire books out there with all sorts of lore and history, but what other books can you name where the vampires remain mentally stuck in their era? (if there are other books, Id like to know about them) These are some of the most original vampires Ive come across, a far cry from Dracula and his kin. No, they cant do daylight, but they
DNF at 50ish percent. Premise was ridiculous and plot was just kind of plodding along.
A happy surprise. So many paranormal/urban fantasy are so similar that it's hard to tell one series from another. But... Ciara's new vampire buds are unique. In this world, vampires are "locked" into the time in which they died. Handy here, since they are all DJs, specializing in the music of their decade. They can't really assimilate new information into their worldview, such as the 60s character can see and theoretically understand the use of computers, but can't incorporate it into his life.
(July) This started off pretty good - it seemed well paced, and interesting until...it wasn't. It got sloggy, convoluted, vague, and boring. I didn't know you could make vampires boring, but this book succeeded, much to my dismay. I've read enough vampire romance books to know what I expect, what I like - which is dangerous, powerful, sexy guys and gals. Here they were almost impotent - not sexually, but in terms of how they acted and managed their own lives. I was amazed when it was said that
I am feeling very uninspired to write a review right now, so I doubt I will have much to say but I will give it a go.Ok so Ciara is pretty tough and can take care of herself, she con people and take their money to pay for tuition and she didn't exactly have a normal childhood. She is studying at college and she needs a job for it, an internship at this radio station could be something. Oh yes a radio station where the djs are vampires, I do like that idea and how that have stayed in their own
