Jessica Grant knows vampires only too well. She runs the York Council tracker programme making sure that Otherworlders are all where they should be, keeps the filing in order and drinks far too much coffee. To Jess, vampires are annoying and arrogant and far too sexy for their own good, particularly her ex-colleague Sil, who's now in charge of Otherworld York. But when a demon turns up and threatens not just Jess but the whole world order, she and Sil are forced to work together, and when Jess turns out to be the key to saving the world it puts a very different slant on their relationship. The stakes are high. They are also very, very pointy and Jess isn't afraid to use them, even on the vampire that she's rather afraid she s falling in love with ...

Adventurous and witty. --STAR Magazine.
Romance with a twist. --BELLA Magazine
I've been reluctant to read stories featuring vampires because lately they've all sounded the same. However, I'm glad I took a risk because Vampire State of Mind offers a whole new take on this sub-genre. It's part mystery, part paranormal romance with a dash of Sci-Fi. I loved the world Ms. Lovering created for this book. --Long & Short Reviews

So, a common theme is forming with my reading patterns. I am gaining inspiration from my twitter feed. I stumbled across Jane Lovering via a recommendation from Katie Fforde. As I love Katie Fforde's books, I thought I'd give Jane a 'whirl'. To date, I have not been disappointed and have enjoyed her previous books. So, when Vampire State of Mind was released, I was torn. Vampire/gothic style books do not figure as 'must reads' but I do like Jane Lovering. So, as I'd promised that I would, via twitter, I downloaded and started to read.
Well, who would have guessed? I like vampire/goth romantic fiction! To be clear, I still don't fancy the Twighlight series but loved this more than I would ever have imagined. In fact, this is my favourite so far.
The characters form easily and the right level of empathy builds as the story unfolds. I truly imagined an 'alternative' York and loved the idea of the blending of the species.
So, if like me, you don't fancy this kind of book, kick your instincts aside and give it a whirl. What's the worst that could happen?

I totally loved this book and was gripped right from the first page.
Before buying it I was unsure whether it was going to be My Type of Book - but I needn't have worried. Well-written, amusing, gripping, with a happy ending - utterly My Type of Book! In fact, it would probably make a great film!
Anyway, I've no hesitation in recommending this book, and I'll certainly be on the watch for other books by the same author.

Jane Lovering writes extremely well. Her writing is clever and witty with well constructed characters and plots. This latest is a bit off the wall involving a "Men in black" style alien overseeing operation. The difference is it's run by the local council and hardly runs to an office. The plot has some delightful twists, as well as the author's usual hilarious one-liners.
The characters range from the office nerd to evil alien beings all inhabiting the same small patch of earth, (York). The result is sometimes funny, sometimes touching, often nail-biting, and all wrapped up in a rom-com. Knocks a certain current blockbuster into oblivion.

Surprisingly good! Glad I took a chance with this.
I normally don't go for these type of books. The genre just seems a little too silly and over-hyped. This is from someone who read "Twilight" and was disappointed. Read more

A book with a bite to it
This is without a doubt the strangest book I have read, but in a good way. It's a cross between True Blood, The Running Man, and Harry Potter with a bit of Doctor Who thrown in. Read more
