This one was just OK for me. I tend to enjoy supernatural thrillers, but I felt like they could have done so much more to play up the time period in this one too. It's set in 1920s New York City and features a female newspaper reporter and her quest to discover if her deceased father's writings about blood-thirsty gangs ruling the New York underworld are really true or just fantasy. There are some cool vampire moments, and a weird cult of vampires trying to wipe out all vampires (?), but the idea of this secret "book" the main character is searching for the whole time seems to fall a little flat in the end. And other pretty crazy things happened to her along her quest that I felt she should have been more upset about. Well-written for what it is - a romance novel, but not good as historical fiction or even a thriller, really.
