Denver psychologist Kismet Knight is a woman who believes in
what is tangible. Facts, data, evidence—these are the things
Kismet relies on. She does not believe in magic. She does
not believe in fairy tales. And she certainly does not
believe in vampires. At least not at first.
When Kismet meets a young woman who confides in her about
Denver's secret vampire population, she starts off
skeptical. However, as strange things start to happen and
dead bodies start turning up, Kismet begins to realize that
the world may not be as black and white as she originally
thought.
With the help of a smoking hot FBI agent and the leader of a
powerful coven of vampires, both of whom are interested in
her romantically, Kismet begins to infiltrate the
underground world of vampires. When a malevolent force
targets her, the three of them must join forces to protect
her from harm and rid Denver of the taint of evil
nightwalkers.
THE VAMPIRE SHRINK is not the sort of book I would pick up
on my own, but it was enjoyable to read. I typically read
paranormal stories where all characters involved are aware
of the supernatural beings around them, which made this book
a change for me. But not necessarily an unwelcome one.
Kismet's stubborn refusal to believe in vampires was
endearing at first, but about halfway through the book I was
ready for her to stop being so logical. She received so much
evidence of their existence, and had so many bad things
happen to her as a result of her disbelief, I just wanted
her to let go of her inhibitions and believe.
Though I enjoyed this story, THE VAMPIRE SHRINK ended
suddenly, which I had a problem with. I'll be interested to
see if a sequel is written. If not, there are a few too many
unresolved plot points for me to recommend this book
wholeheartedly. If so, I'll be interested to see how the
story works out.
Kismet Knight is a young psychologist with a growing
clinical practice, and she's always looking for something to
give her the edge in her chosen career. When her new client
turns out to be a Goth teenager who desperately wants to
become a vampire, Kismet is inspired to become the vampire
shrink, offering her services to people who believe they are
undead.
Kismet herself, as a scientist, knows it's hokum, but she's
looking at it in a purely psychoanalytic light, already
imagining the papers she's going to write on this strange
subculture. That's until she meets the leader of a vampire
coven, a sexy, mysterious man who claims to be a powerful
800-year-old vampire, and she is pulled into a whirlwind of
inexplicable events that start her questioning everything
she once believed about the paranormal.
