The WVMP Series

I just finished this book and I LOVED it!!! I highly recommend this "new" series!

The main character is a young kick ass woman, Ciara, who has a shady past. She's got an edge that reminds me of Betsy in the QB series. The main male character, Shane, is the tortured soul type, Really reminds me of Richard in the AB series. Oh and he is sooooooo friggin HOT! YOWSA!  The storyline is a little different and takes some real turns. Not your typical gal meets vampire and the HEA. I like that. The supporting characters are all very interesting and I'm really dying to get to know them better. The next book is Bad to the Bone, starting it today!!!!

Here is the "official" blurb:

Newbie marketing intern Ciara Griffin lands a job at WMMP, a station threatened with being sold to Skyware, a giant communications conglomerate, unless ad revenue picks up. A former con artist with a canny way with people, Ciara soon learns that the DJs are undead and specialists in the musical eras in which they were turned into vampires. One of them, Shane McAllister (turned in 1995), is really hot and dangerously tempting. In order to attract more listeners, Ciara promotes a new marketing strategy and the Sherwood, Md., station becomes 94.3 WVMP, the Lifeblood of Rock and Roll, exploiting the fang factor (which no listener takes seriously) for profit. It works, until an ancient vampire cult wants to pull the plug. Also playing in is The Control, an equally ancient paramilitary group created to protect good vampires and kill bad ones. Smith-Ready's musical references are spot on, as is her take on corporate radio's creeping airwave hegemony. Add in the irrepressible Ciara, who grew up in a family of grifters, and the results rock.
