Dylan and Tatum. A dynamic duo that seemed to somehow combine Cagney and Lacey, Laverne and Shirley, and Lucy and Ethel all at the same time! The descriptions of them reminded me of Jane and Stacy Drop Dead Diva, and Mike was a ringer for Owen.

What can I say about Dylan, she’s as graceful in her investigation of the Los Angeles vampire scene as a bull on roller skates in a china shop would be. And just about as messy! Half the time you want to give her a big hug and the rest of the time you want to shake her silly.

“Ex-boyfriends, dead girls, and vampires, oh my!”

Nothing is what it seems in this twisty crime drama where everyone seems like a possible suspect. Did he? Did she? Did they? Are they real? No really, are they?! OMG! And just when you think you have this wild ride figured out. You don’t! This one sure got me as I did not see that ending coming! And I still have so many questions. Like, what’s with that door?! So happy the next book is already out because I need to go read it.

This is a well written vampire novel. Dylan is your realistic typical person she sassy has mouth on her and had some of those witty lines that make you laugh out loud. This is a vampire book with some crime involved this is the book for you. Very unquie book.

This was an awesome book! I loved all the twists and suspense but had a lot of funny parts as well! Definitely wouldn't have guessed how it ended and I am still wondering if vampires are real...

When journalist Dylan Hart takes on a story of a lifetime he didn’t know how far it would take her. She’s in for a wild adventure when she comes across drained hookers and real life vampires. The public is growing impatient. But Dylan has found out she’s put herself in danger and now she’s in a run to save her own life.
Follow this journalist as she battles vampires in this mystery and horror fantasy of a book. You won’t wanna put down this start to an awesome series. I was not be disappointed and neither will you.

The Scene ( Dylan Hart #1) by R.M. Gilmore
4 Stars!!!!

It's a wonderful feeling finding a new author and a new series. This is the first book by this author I have read and the first book in the series and I was not disappointed. The author has a very refreshing style and characters. I really love the whole investigative journalist angle and come on who doesn't love vampires! I really like how the characters just jump right off of the page and I felt as though I was in the thick of it with them.

I really could see myself in Dylan's place chasing the story and chasing all the leads. I really like how she is down to earth and isn't afraid to get the story. I also like how the author doesn't make the story transparent and that it makes the reader just as much an investigator as Dylan. I really like the chemistry between Dylan and the detective and also Dylan and Cyrus. I like how she is a bit uncertain about Cyrus and I look forward to how things progress in the series with this. I will definitely be reading more from this author and this series.

The Scene (Dylan Hart #1)
By R.M. Gilmore
4 stars

The Scene is a book I probably wouldn’t normally read but I was looking for something a little different and I have read something by this author previously so I thought I would give it a go and overall I really enjoyed it. The writing was really good, the author drew me in but I will admit it did take a couple of chapters to fully get into but once I did I was fully absorbed in what I was reading. I actually wasn’t sure I would relate to the main character but I did really like her, she had this real feel about her, confident and sassy yet unsure of herself. She was really funny and made me laugh on more than one occasion. The storyline was really good and had a great pace to it; I actually read it really quickly! I am definitely looking forward to the next book in the series!

I know every time I pick up a R.M. Gilmore books will be awesome. Her stories really make me think throughout the story. This story is no different. This plotline is a suspense paranormal genre. There is something in it for everyone. I found myself flying through the pages because I wanted to know what was coming around the corner. I did finish the book in one sitting. The characters are unique and fully developed. Dylan is a journalist who takes her job seriously. She is a strong female character. She is trying to figure out what is going on. She needs to see if there is really a vampire causing this death. I highly recommend this book and I cannot wait to see what the series holds for us.
