Book Blurb

Not all vampires are idly rich. Some of them have day jobs. Er, night jobs.

 

In a world struggling to come to grips with the existence of vampires, where reactions range from excitement to fear to determined disbelief, these vampires are just trying to make ends meet. Some of them do mundane work—like waiting tables or driving a cab. Others have more prestigious careers in medicine and crime prevention. But what all their jobs have in common is people. Unpredictable, interesting, frustrating, hostile, helpless, tasty people.

 

Whether they’re pouring drinks, answering phones, hacking into a computer system, or serving up the perfect food/wine pairing, these working stiffs are too busy to fall in love. Or are they?

 

This International Workers Day, celebrate by sinking your teeth into thirteen awesome stories about vampires at work. Because even the undead have to earn a living. Proceeds benefit the WHO's Covid-19 Response Fund.

Book Review

This anthology of several short stories was so amazing. No story in this book is the same. The only thing they all have in common is one of the main characters is a hard-working, blue-collar vampire and the other main character is human. Other then that each read is as different as night and day. Which, honestly, that is to be expected because each one is by a different author with a different writing style. That is what makes this such a great book.

This anthology contains thirteen different stories that revolve around a vampire meeting his human partner who is impossible to not fall in love with. Whether the read is about a waiter, cab driver, police officer, doctor, computer hacker, chef, or many other professions... this book has something for everyone.

The one thing I can say with much certainty is each read has its own story and each read has someone falling in love, even by accident. This is one of those reads that left me feeling satisfied with each story once I was done with it. Not one was boring and most left me hoping that a bigger and better story will emerge from it.

I am so glad that I read this book. It was an exciting read and each of the authors did an incredible job! This is a highly recommended read if you enjoy vampires. I definitely look forward to more from each of these authors in the future!
