Book Reviews of Dancing With Werewolves: Delilah Street, Paranormal InvestigatorBook Review: A great romp Summary: 5 Stars"Dancing with Werewolves" is really different. The lead character, Delilah Street, has a great character and as we see events from her view we are carried along by her witticisms, humour and occasional sadness. Delilah grew up in an orphanage and when the Millennium Revelation took place all the paranormal creatures came to light; in Delilah's world there are vampires, werewolves and just about any other creature you can imagine, all working within their own agendas and usually to be feared and avoided. Delilah has discovered that her looks - pale skin, dark hair - are a magnet for vampires, but this is only the beginning of her problems.
Delilah finds herself having to leave her job as a reporter in Kansas and travel to Las Vegas to find out why her Doppelg?nger was autopsied on Las Vegas CSI. When approaching Hector Nightwine, the producer of the TV series she finds herself meeting a whole lot of new people - Quicksilver the large dog, Ric Montoya the cadaver dowser, Snow the rock star, Gerald the butler and more. Delilah's world gets more and more strange as she begins to discover certain talents herself relating to mirrors and silver and as she tries to get to the bottom of her Doppelg?nger's death - she finds herself in the middle of a Las Vegas power struggle. The story twists and turns with the reader never quite knowing what happens next and Delilah is a brilliant character to follow as she finds herself in tricky situations.
Despite the theoretically dark subject matter this is almost always a light read with Delilah's amusing thoughts running alongside the action and events. The romance side of the novel is understated, the supernatural element significant but the overall effect is a great read; I imagine this is the first of many stories about Delilah Street, Paranormal Investigator, and it's an enjoyable beginning.
