Interpretation Supposing Books Wicked Game (WVMP Radio #1)
LATE NIGHT RADIO YOU CAN SINK YOUR TEETH INTO Recovering con artist Ciara Griffin is trying to live the straight life, even if it means finding a (shudder!) real job. She takes an internship at a local radio station, whose late-night time-warp format features 1940s blues, '60s psychedelia, '80s goth, and more, all with an uncannily authentic flair. Ciara soon discovers just how the DJs maintain their cred: they're vampires, stuck forever in the eras in which they were turned. Ciara's first instinct, as always, is to cut and run. But communications giant Skywave wants to buy WVMP and turn it into just another hit-playing clone. Without the station — and the link it provides to their original Life Times — the vampires would "fade," becoming little more than mindless ghosts of the past. Suddenly a routine corporate takeover is a matter of life and undeath. To boost ratings and save the lives of her strange new friends, Ciara rebrands the station as "WVMP, the Lifeblood of Rock 'n' Roll." In the ultimate con, she hides the DJs' vampire nature in plain sight, disguising the bloody truth as a marketing gimmick. WVMP becomes the hottest thing around — next to Ciara's complicated affair with grunge vamp Shane McAllister. But the "gimmick" enrages a posse of ancient and powerful vampires who aren't so eager to be brought into the light. Soon the stakes are higher — and the perils graver — than any con game Ciara's ever played...

Despite the huge upsurge in vampire urban fantasy books out there, this novel still seems fresh and interesting. Basically, a young con artist/student Ciara takes a job at a radio station as a marketing intern. While there she finds that all of the late night DJ's are vampires, who because of when they were "turned" are stuck in the time frame of when they turned. In essence they are perfect for their time slots at the radio station because they never moved past it. The Station Manager, David is

(July) This started off pretty good - it seemed well paced, and interesting until...it wasn't. It got sloggy, convoluted, vague, and boring. I didn't know you could make vampires boring, but this book succeeded, much to my dismay. I've read enough vampire romance books to know what I expect, what I like - which is dangerous, powerful, sexy guys and gals. Here they were almost impotent - not sexually, but in terms of how they acted and managed their own lives. I was amazed when it was said that
Calling all fans of smoldering romance, sassy heroines, and badass vampires: this brilliant series by Jeri Smith-Ready is sure to make your year! Not since Richelle Meads Vampire Academy series have I read a vampire book thats so hot, funny, intelligent, and well written.If you like your protagonists bold and witty, look no further than Ciara Griffin. Her irreverent narration makes WICKED GAME a nonstop entertaining and mindblowing read. Ciara is a remarkably well-developed heroine: not only is
Man, these are hard to classify sometimes.This is one of the better paranormal books I've read. It focuses solely on vampires - no werewolves, no witches, no gremlins etc. - and does a really great job of it. There is significantly less angst than in a lot of vampire-related stuff, and yet there is still romance (and sex), lots of humor, and an interesting, entertaining story. There were some REALLY amusing scenes, which I won't describe because I wouldn't want to ruin it for anyone.I liked Jeri
DNF at 50ish percent. Premise was ridiculous and plot was just kind of plodding along.
