Title: Pulling Up Stakes
Author: Peter David
Genre: Urban fantasy
Thingummies: 4
Synopsis: A guy from a family of vampire hunters finds out that he's been betrothed since childhood to another vampire hunter. Just one problem--he's secretly a vampire himself.
Thoughts: Snarky and entertaining, if not ground-breaking, this book has a cute enough twist to not disappear into the pile of monster-hunting urban fantasies or vampire sagas. David can't resist the usual potshots at Twilight, but for the most part, the humor comes from voice and situation and works well. While I could see some of the ultimate resolution coming a mile away, it was still satisfying. (Although the answer of what happened to the dowry doesn't quite make sense, given previously established information.) Sets up for an on-going series, but the ending stands well enough on its own.
