Jane is ironically a
vegan vampire with a knack for getting into trouble.
Needing to head to
warmer climes she heads South into Bible Belt country, the weather maybe warmer
but the hospitality is not; at least for an outwardly appearing teenage
vagrant.
When a purple dog runs
past her during a routine police stop you are already drawn back into Jane’s
strange world and you can feel the magic carpet ride coming.
Whilst she knows that
she must feed and she often disgusts herself with the berserker like frenzy when
this occurs she knows it was not her that started to rip the Officers to pieces
in the woods, even though she does not turn down an easy meal.
LML has a wonderful
skill of explaining the pain that Jane feels during these feeds giving you a
sense of the gnawing hunger vs the need to preserve all life.
As she hides in the forest
she is found by the local Ranger, Bobby, and he kindly takes her home for
dinner, although he does have his own agenda and what is actually on the menu?
His family are a
strange mix of rednecks and homely parents, then LML introduces the local fruitloop who professes to be seeing
lake monsters, werewolves and vampires and you know things are about to go
squiffy for poor Jane!
When said fruitloop
decides to rid the world of a “stinking leech” he sets in motion a terrible
chain of events, killing sprees, hidden bodies and family secret revelations.
Whilst all this is
going on LML manages to throw in some horrific flashbacks of Jane’s previous
life and her “change”.
Overall another
wonderful installment in the undead life of Jane. I am more intrigued by this
vampire now; LML is expertly giving little hints of the true horror in Jane’s
life whilst telling these little chapters in her life.
My only complaint is
having to wait for the next episode.
