Vamparazzi
ByPublisher Description
Everything you know about vampires is wrong, as struggling actress Esther Diamond discovers after taking a job as a victim in The Vampyre, an off-Broadway cult hit in Manhattan. Not only is she besieged by fang-wearing vampire groupies, fanatical anti-vampire activists, and the bloodsucking paparazzi, but she also has to put up with broody lead actor Daemon Ravel, who claims to be a real vampire. But when one of Daemon's fan girls turns up dead—and drained of all her blood—Esther is determined to help. She turns to her friend Max, a 350-year-old magician. Meanwhile, Detective Connor Lopez, Esther's ex-almost-boyfriend, is convinced that Esther herself is the blood-sucking killer's next target.
Vamparazzi is the exciting fourth installment of the acclaimed Esther Diamond series.

“I enjoyed how Laura Resnick twisted the vampire tropes and gave the reader an alternate description and history for vampires. Finally the Lithuanian piece of the puzzle fell into place.
Esther is in a pretty niche off Broadway play. She was supposed to just be a side character but ends up semi-stealing the show and there are a bevy of people fascinated by the character in the play that have decided to cosplay her character. The leading man, claims to be a vampire and somehow becomes the lead suspect when one of the fans is found dead, drained of blood.
Lopez is on the scene again with rational explanations for everything. Esther is in the middle of all of the trouble again and seems to have caught the killers eye. She is also surrounded by a few real vampires, who knew. With Max's help she is able to call in some support and save the production from going under, well mostly.
I liked this one a little better. The play on the vampire stereotypes was fun. The Max flashbacks were a little strange and made the pacing a little odd but it was a way to show the history of the vampires and so Vamparazzi didn't suffer from quite as much info dumping.
Again these are easy no brainer reads and I'm just popping through them like they are candy. So there must be something to them that is a little addictive for me.
The Graphic Audio narration is really was is making these really enjoyable overall. Not sure I'd have half as much fun with them if I wasn't listening the a full cast narration. Esther and Lopez's voice actors do a really great job and make the story for me.”
