Bloodsucking Fiends by Christopher Moore

Jody ends up turning Tommy into a vampire.

The first sequel, You Suck: A Love Story, is about Jody and Tommy for some reason staying in San Francisco, despite the fact that it defies all common sense. Jody's maker stalks her from place to place and leaves her 'presents' (dead bodies) that make her into a prime suspect of an ongoing murder investigation. The two move in together and start up a relationship. He works the night shift at a supermarket along with a crew of other young men aptly named 'The Animals'. Unable to do anything during the day, Jody enlists the help of Tommy, a 19-year-old who had just moved to San Francisco in hope of finding inspiration to help him kick-start his writing career. She finds out that she's been unwittingly turned into a vampire. The last nail is driven into the coffin of her crumbling relationship when she wakes up under a city dumpster with a horrible burn on her hand and a huge wad of cash stuffed in her shirt. The first book, Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story, is about 26-year-old Jody, living in modern-day San Francisco with her shallow and weak-willed boyfriend. For the most part the genre fluctuates among comedy, drama, supernatural and suspense, with Moore's typical emphasis on comedy. Although they are described as love stories, romance actually plays a surprisingly small role in these books.

And no, it's nothing like The Twilight Saga. Really enjoyable stuff all around.A trilogy written by Christopher Moore about vampires and romance. The writer is a very witty person, and the humor is never flat, annoying or invasive, like in so many failed horror/humor stories featuring vampires or zombies. Ok, that said, let me reiterate that this book is loads of fun, very light hearted and moves quickly. Congrats to Susan Bennett for a brilliant performance! I hope she features in many books to come. Well, this narrator is right up there at the top! I often think, when I compare the performances on audible to many performances I have seen in film or television, that book narration is a magnet for the most talented, but lunder-recognized of actors. I have listened to so many very talented narrators on audible, who bring a life to the book it may not have had from just reading it - those who make a great book even greater. The fun of this book has been thoroughly reviewed, I think - so I will agree with all that has been said on that subject and give a but more credit where credit is due.
