BLOOD BATH & BEYOND

With style and wit to spare, Michelle Rowen's BLOOD BATH & BEYOND is a delightfully comedic vampire mystery.

Sarah Dearly and Thierry de Bennicoeur aren't your average married couple. Sarah is a newly sired vampire in her early thirties. Thierry is a master vampire just around 600. Age differences can be such a bitch. But they love each other deeply, and love conquers all, right? Well, that cliché's going to be put to the test. When Thierry is drafted into a shadowy vampire council called The Ring, he and Sarah must leave their lives in Toronto behind to hit the road, investigating cases of vampire crime. First stop Las Vegas where a string of corpses has been showing up around town drained of their blood. Thierry and Sarah have to deal with a pissed of old vampire in the body of a child beauty pageant contestant, a vapid undead trophy wife whose intentions may be less than pure, and a misplaced accusation that finds them as suspects in their own investigation. Though it is perfectly positioned to be the first book a reader encounters by Michelle Rowen, BLOOD BATH & BEYOND is the beginning of a series spun-off from her Immortality Bites series
