I really wanted to enjoy this... but didn't :(,
By Miss Lucy Felthouse "Published author - www.l... (Derbyshire, UK) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Very Bloody Marys (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!,
By
This review is from: The Very Bloody Marys (Paperback)
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,
By A. F. Waddell - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Very Bloody Marys (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,
By Jane - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Very Bloody Marys (Paperback)
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. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

Delightful and original,
By Angela Buonfiglio "Irkmeister" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Very Blood Marys (Perfect Paperback)
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.
