Publisher Description
FROM THE BEST SELLING AUTHOR OF THE SUPERVILLAINY SAGA:
Peter Stone is a poor black vampire who is wondering where his nightclub, mansion, and sports car are. Instead, he is working a minimum wage job during the night shift as being a vampire isn’t all that impressive in a world where they’ve come out to mortals. Exiled from the rich and powerful undead in New Detroit, he is forced to go back when someone dumps a newly-transformed vampire in the bathroom of his gas station’s store. This gets him fangs-deep in a plot of vampire hunters, supernatural revolutionaries, and a millennium-old French knight determined to wipe out the supernatural.
Sometimes, it just doesn’t pay to get out of the coffin.
Set in the same world as The Bright Falls Mysteries.

Customer Reviews
Loved the title
2.5 Rating. Peter Stone is a terrible vampire. Whines ALL the time about his life. This is my first read of this author. My expectations were high. I was hoping this was going to be funny. There some points, especially in the last few chapters, which brought up the rating for me. The dialogue consisted mostly of references to pop culture movies and books. Early on, I just became bored with it. It literally took me four days to get half way through this book. It was tiresome. Forced myself to finish today. I guess the characters were okay, but I really wasn’t invested in any of them. I’m not sure I’d recommend. It wasn’t all bad. The humor was very lacking for me, and I actually got most of the pop culture references. I did not mind the writing style, so I may try another book, but I’m done with this series.
