Fiction
Suicide Squeeze by Victor Gischler. Conner Samson is sent to reposses a comic book store owner's boat. On board is a specially autographed, 1954 Joe DiMaggio that some dangerous people really want.
Shotgun Opera by Victor Gischler. Ex-tough guy Mike Foley has been living the easy life, and hiding out, for the last forty years in Oklahoma. His nephew Andrew shows up with a hitwoman on his trail and Uncle Mike has to turn tough-guy again.
I really enjoyed Gischler's Go-Go Girls of the Apocolypse, as I mentioned before. So I am all set to be disappointed by these two books after setting my expectations overly high.
Every Last Drop by Charlie Huston. Tough guy PI Joe Pitt is not really a PI. He just does jobs on demand. He's not much of a guy either, he's a vampire. Pitt has angered all the other vampire "clans" of Manhattan who now want his head on a stick. Pitt leaves Manhattan for the wilds of the Bronx.
See, Gischler? This vampire stuff sells.
The Rising by Brian Keene. Some zombie horror novel that had a nice review in the back of Booklist or Library Journal.
Deja Demon by Julie Kenner. "The days and nights of a demon hunting soccer mom." Local housewife Kate cares for her family and hunts local demons and zombies?
What has knock-offs has Buffy wrought?
Romance
Never Romance a Rake by Liz Carlyle. A starred review for this paperback romance. Baron Rothewell wins a poker bet for the Comte de Valigny's daughter.
Like No Other Lover by Julie Anne Long. Another paperback romance that got a good review.
Yuletide Treasure by Lauraine Snelling and Jillian Hart. Two short romance novels stuck together.
