Dead & Breakfast
ByPublisher Description
The new vampires in town are sinking their teeth into solving a murder…
Married odd couple Arthur and Sal are totally normal. They wear sunscreen, not because the sun can kill them, but because even the undead need a skincare regimen. They eat garlic whenever they want, though it gives Sal indigestion. They can talk to creatures of the night, but only the raccoons that rifle through their garbage. Really, they don’t bite… except into delicious baked goods.
Ready to settle down and stay out of trouble, the two have opened a bed & breakfast in the idyllic, if not-so-paranormal-friendly, town of Trident Falls, Oregon. But trouble finds them when the mayor is discovered dead in their begonias with two puncture wounds in his neck. With the help of a werewolf barista, the elven town coroner, and a very human city manager, Arthur and Sal will need to prove they aren’t literally out for blood by catching a killer…

“Sad because I was really excited about this book, but felt as though some of the elements fell short. What pulled me in from the synopsis was the mystery behind the mayor's passing. I was curious to find out how the two main characters would work to solve the crime. Arthur and Sal, two vampires, own a bed-and-breakfast in a town that has not fully accepted paranormals, so when the mayor winds up dead on their lawn, suspicious eyes look their way. The first thing that fell flat for me was the comic relief character, Sal. His jokes were unrelenting and made every situation seem unserious. Unfortunately, this made me care less about the crime that happened and finding out the truth, as every conversation was met with a quip and I never got to know this character deeper than the”
“After finishing this delightful paranormal cozy mystery I could totally see this adapted into a film or show. All the character especially Arthur and Sal jumped off the page with their fun antics. I love the laugh out loud moments and I adored the puns that were found throughout the story. I can't wait for the next one in the series.”
“4.75 really. i LOVED this book because it was so so cute and fun. but then sal LEFT. WHY DID HE LEAVE??? it made me not like him as much. the reunion and the rest was back to being cute, though. got me out of a reading slump, i love it!!”
