This book was a real disappointment. The book blurb certainly made it sound like it had potential and the reviews on the cover really hyped it up. Of course I should know better than to put any stock in the 'reviews' written by fellow authors. Don't get me started on what a crock that is.... Anyway...According to Kresley Cole (author of Dark Needs at Night Edge) this book is "An addictive page-turner revving with red-hot sex, truly cool vampires and rock'n'roll soul." OMIGOD! What book did she read? It certainly wasn't this one. Page turner? More like a snore-fest. Red hot sex? I must have skipped that page. Truly cool vampires? Only if you think that obsessive compulsive vampires stuck in a time warp that coincides with the decade they were 'made' are cool. I must be a vampire snob or something but I either want my vampires so evil they curl your toes or so sexy and suave that you want to pull back your hair and offer them your neck. Vampires that can be defeated merely by dropping a box of paperclips on the floor? No thanks. To top it off, this book isn't even that well written. Some parts of the book are written in diary form where Smith-Ready merely provides a date and a sentence or two about what happened. To me that's just the writer's way of taking a cop out. She couldn't be bothered to flesh an idea out but she wanted a particular tidbit of information imparted. The title, which is supposed to refer to the long con (as in what a con artist does), is even misleading....instead of Wicked Game, this should have been titled 'Lukewarm Game'. If I was Ciara, I would have taken the cheque and run. If you are looking for a book that combines the paranormal with a radio station, I would recommend you switch your dial to Carrie Vaughn's Kitty series. It's way better (think FM vs AM).
