About book Last Vampire Standing (2009)

Last Vampire Standing by Nancy HaddockThe latest (for me) takeoff in the ever increasing lists of modern 'vampire' stories. I did enjoy it as a light, pleasant, undemanding read. I would not buy it, but I am pleased I stopped for it at the library.I say 'vampire' stories, because in keeping with the current 'vampire' trend the main charcter is not noticably a vampire at all. She can go out during the day (although late, because she is a 'daywalker'), she displays human emotions, sex drive, desires and aspirations. We are told that she is old, but the character is 0 year 2000 contemporary with no characteristics suitable to the era that is attributed to her. At no point does she exhibit blood lust or any non-human urges unless you consider drinking a Starbucks a day non-human (I would, but most Americans seem to find it normal).So, a pleasant read in the current tradition of the 'modern vampire" beats Myers and her sparkly vampires, -who are really nice people after all- to death (pardon the pun, but there is not much death in any of them anyway). Nowhere near as good as Charlene Harris, (though obviously on the same wavelength with the bottled blood) give it a go when you find it at the library. I found out when I started this story that is book 2 of a sereis. It is a good stand alone story but I want to read the earlier story to do some catch up on the characters.This is a different take on vampires yet again and it was a pretty good read.Francesca (Cesca to her friends) had been buried in a coffin underground for 200 years when she was rescued by Maggie O'Halloran, who became her best friend. Cesca has a sexy boyfriend, Deke Saber who is a special agent for the Vampire Protection Agency.In this story there a few rogue vampires, Cecsa meets up with her childhood friend Triton and finds out Saber's secret.A good read
