When I first picked up Christina Mandara's new book Good As Dead, my immediate thoughts were; vampires and witches ha! I'm not sure, as a reader, I do vampires and witched all that happily, but what I do do happily is romance and eroticism and this book is chock-a-block full of both.
I was immediately drawn into the story of the young witch Lainey, who was rescued from certain death by a very ancient, but very virile and sexy vampire Mercer.
Mercer it appears works for some organisation whose job it is to save people, but I never really understood how that all worked, not that it made any difference to my enjoyment of this story. There is an instant and undeniable physical, emotional and spiritual attraction and connection between Mercer and Lainey, around which much of the action is built. Now apparently witches and vampires are supposed to be mortal enemies, so that made the attraction even spicier and more interesting.
Lainey, a doctor, has developed some serum that everyone desires to get their hands on; witches, vampires and humans. This makes Lainey a very important person to protect and of course Mercer is just the man (vampire) for the job.
I love a good erotic storyline, with plenty of plot ideas and Good As Dead definitely fulfills my every need in that respect. It is a fast-paced, easy read and one I am sure many people will enjoy immensely.
Despite the genre being well outside of my usual reading choice I have absolutely no hesitation in giving Good As Dead a resounding five stars. I hope the second book in the series can live up to the hype and enjoyment I got from Good As Dead. Another fine effort from C.P. Mandara
