Product Description

Product Description

Can San Francisco survive a marauding gang of Vespa-riding vampires? Before it's sucked dry, the city's only hope may be Valentino, who's only a trainee for the supernatural law enforcement agency, Le Counseil Carmin. Swept up in the whole blood-sucking business when his mentor goes missing, Valentino is called upon to deal with the menace of these "Bloody Marys." But Valentino soon realizes that, in order to dispose of the gang, he must go into areas he never dreamed of, deal with some very strange characters and learn the truth about the dark side of town.

The Very Bloody Marys is a comic horror novel about vampires, ghouls, faeries, and the undead that move around after dark. Part chase, part gallows humor, and all shivery excitement, this new story from the wildly imaginative M. Christian is funny, frightening, and very entertaining.

By Lucy Felthouse TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
I had high hopes for The Very Bloody Marys given that I love vampire stories and I was expecting it to be a bit kinky. However, I was disappointed to discover this book is more of a spoof tale, a humourous take on vampires and other fictional beasties. The main character Valentino is a gay cop, and a vampire, of course. The tale really begins when he discovers his boss, Pogue, is missing and that it may have something to do with some dodgy vampires who are calling themselves The Very Bloody Marys.

Valentino is now alone trying to solve the mysterious disappearance of his boss, when at the same time he's being chased by these uber-vampires, and many other problems are thrown into the mix, including the death of the love of Valentino's life, Julian. However, it turns out Julian was never real anyway, simply an illusion.

This is where I seriously started to get lost. I've never really experienced problems with American writers before so I can't be sure, but I think it could be the American humour that kind of by-passed me, and also the style of writing... it didn't seem to flow and I couldn't keep myself interested in what was going on.

I think underneath the writing style there was a good plot in there somewhere, but it really wasn't for me. It was too confusing and jumbled up and left me relieved when I finished the last page.

Saving San Francisco! 16 July 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
He's a Cop. He's Gay and he's a Vampire. Valentino is scared, insecure and working alone. A spiral of vengance and the seedy underworld of San Francisco drives M. Christian's intriguing new novel, The Very Bloody Marys. Valentino's journey of self discovery, hooks the reader on page 1 and doesn't let up. You won't be able to put it down! You'll laugh, cry-I even cheered! A fabulous read!

It's Not Easy Being Undead 29 July 2007
By A. F. Waddell - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
M. Christian creates quirky, imaginative yet realistic worlds in which palpable danger threatens to instantaneously whisk one off dark streets. The Very Bloody Marys humorously and deftly blends vampires, demons, faeries, a police force of the undead . . . capturing a complex daily reality in gay vampire cop Valentino --- as Valentino searches for his missing boss. Energetic, erotic, atmospheric . . . a unique read!

Off-beat vampire tale 14 May 2008
By Jane - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
M.Christian has given the reader some very interesting and strange characters in this slightly off-beat story of an incompetant vampire who works in a police force for vampires. A lot of backstory about Valentine and the missing Pogue.
The dialogue was on the light-hearted/horror side of things. I found the plot slighty confusing and I thought M.Christian's repititions of phrases and words too much at times.
But it was enjoyable, bloody,horror-filled with bad and good vampires. Always a good thing.

Just finished this book tonight -- what a fun read! The story moves along and takes place in such an unusual world, I really lost track of time. Very good writing, too.
