Bloodshot (Cheshire Red Reports, #1)

by Cherie Priest

VAMPIRE FOR HIRE
 
Raylene Pendle (AKA Cheshire Red), a vampire and world-renowned thief, doesn’t usually hang with her own kind. She’s too busy stealing priceless art and rare jewels. But when the infuriatingly charming Ian Stott asks for help, Raylene finds him impossible to resist—even though Ian doesn’t want precious artifacts. He wants her to retrieve missing government files—documents that deal with the secret biological experiments that left Ian blind. What Raylene doesn’t bargain for is a case that takes her from the wilds of Minneapolis to the mean streets of Atlanta. And with a psychotic, power-hungry scientist on her trail, a kick-ass drag queen on her side, and Men in Black popping up at the most inconvenient moments, the case proves to be one hell of a ride.

Cherie Priest rarely does wrong, which is even more impressive when you consider that she switches genres every time she switches series. Bloodshot is straight up paranormal fantasy, but it's also better written and far more fun that most of the paranormal fantasy I've read thus far. Bloodshot actually reminded me a bit of a television show from the USA network - between the colorful characters and the overall plot punctuated by in-between cases (the synopsis of book #2, [b:Hellbent|9842559|Hellbent (Cheshire Red Reports, #2)|Cherie Priest|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1301594461s/9842559.jpg|14733361] is confirming my suspicions about this), it feels like it would fit right at home with Burn Notice and White Collar.
