Angel of Vengeance by Trevor O. Munson
Reviewed by staff member Angie

Any vampire fan worth their salt has heard of or watched the short-lived 2006 CBS series Moonlight. This show was created by Trevor Munson and centered around a Private Eye named Mick St John and his love interest, Beth. What few people knew was that this story actually began as a novel about Mick Angel.

This novel is set in the dirty, drug-infested underground of LA.  We meet Mick Angel who is a self confessed Heroin addict turned vampire. He is also a private eye who’s been hired to find the runaway sister of a beautiful burlesque dancer named Reesa. Reesa recognizes the old school charm of our fedora wearing Mick and manages to seduce him much more quickly than Mick ever thought possible.

As the story unfolds we find ourselves being taken back in time to the 1940’s where it all started and, ironically ended, for Mick. We find out who his lover is and the power she continues to hold over him even now.

Mick finds himself the only suspect in a murder and things get dicey from there. This book was reminiscent of the film noir genre that was so popular in the 40s.  On more than one occassion I found myself slipping into a black and white imagination of the story.

This book is a MUST READ for any willing freshie! And you KNOW who  you are!!

It will be released February 1, 2011
