is by Alaya Johnson. Wow! This is a totally unique take on vampires. This book is a combination of Anita Blake Vampire Hunter and the Gangs of New York, or perhaps a female Harry Dresden. Set in Prohibition New York, Zephyr Hollis is a social activist who wants to fight for the rights of humans and Others. A mysterious djinn named Amir hires her to locate the local vampire mob boss to prevent the sale of a new blood-based street drug that will destroy the local vampire community. But does Amir have an ulterior motive for hiring Zephyr? Will her attraction to him get her killed? I think I'll call this "vamp noir". A very different take on the genre. Ratings: 10th grade - 9 out of 10 - P (profanity) - V (violence) - AC (mature thematic content).
