A review by bibliofiendlm
The Nymphos of Rocky Flats by Mario Acevedo
1.0
Curiosity killed the cat. This book has taunted my friends and me for several years as well as the others in the series. These books and their ridiculous titles stare out from the sci-fi/fantasy section of BN bookstore. So, my library has it as a free downloadable ebook and I decided to check it out as a purveyor of vampire fiction.
The premise is intriguing. An American soldier fighting in the Iraqi war is transformed into a vampire after he is overcome with guilt when his troop accidentally murders and innocent Iraqi family. Back in the states, ex soldier Felix Gomez becomes a private investigator. Wackeyness ensues as the book's title illustrates (but its far more reserved that you'd expect) but the writing is far from stellar - subpar supporting character, vamps, dryads, and aliens from the Galaxtic Union.
It's pretty terrible but I can say I expanded my knowledge of the genre. lol.
