Book Reviews of Wicked Game
Book Review: "About A Girl"...and six vampires
Summary: 4 Stars
"Wicked Game" is a fairly unique entry in the Vampire fiction genre. Smith-Ready puts her own spin on the vampire tale. Here, Ceira Griffin is trying to get a job...a straight, legitmate job. She comes from a shady past where her whole life has been built around playing 'cons'. She thinks she wants to come clean, and is glad to accept a sales and marketing job with a local radio station. Then she finds that the station is in some serious jeopardy. A huge corporation wants to buy the station out and the owner seems all too eager to make the sale. Ciera has gotten 'friendly' with the night d.j's. Each a vampire stuck in his/her 'life' time... She immediately falls for mysterious, quiet Shane, who is a fairly recent vampire stuck in the grunge music period of the 90's. He, like the other vampires, use the music they spin to stay connected to their human lifetimes. Without something to use as an anchor, the vampire becomes confused by the modern times and begins a slow decline into nothingness, or the 'fade'. Knowing these vampires could 'fade' without the station Ciera embarks upon her biggest con of all time. This story was very interesting and different. I enjoyed the way Smith-Ready wove songs throughout the tale. Sometimes there was a lot of double meaning in the songs, which I enjoyed also. The only slight drawback to me was the character of Ciera. I didn't care for the idea that she was a con artist and no one could really trust her. She didn't even trust herself. At some parts it was difficult to feel empathy for her. I don't wonder if some of that will different in the next volume and I really do look forward to reading "Bad to The Bone". The positives of this tale far outweigh any piddly misgivings I may have had and I can say that I truly enjoyed reading this story. There was enough humor, romance, and action to keep the pace moving right along. Definitely a keeper for those who enjoy a good vampire story.
