Wow, it'd been almost ten months since I'd listened to a Fred, the Vampire Accountant book. After a pretty steady diet of them for a while, the break was a little strange.

Anyway, the wedding's behind him, so there's another new challenge for Fred—someone's coming for him, and the House of Fred. This isn't new, but the openness, brazenness, and intensity of the attacks are.

Fred has to be his most creative to get through this challenge with both his ethics and clan intact. Not to mention his life.

For reasons that make sense (and make some of the drama possible), Krystal was not around for most of this book. That bugged me, I'd have liked to have seen a bit more about married life between the two. Oh, well, there's time for that to come.

Gentle humor, just enough action to keep you going, and a bunch of pleasant characters. The seventh installment of this series proves there's plenty of life left in this story of the undead.
