The plot tests credulity here and there, but the snappy dialogue (pun intended), the pace and the porn stars (supernatural and otherwise) who populate the book more than compensate.”\u003cbr\u003e“Decidedly good, unclean, unwholesome fun set in the thick of Denver’s mountainous spaces.”\u003cbr\u003e“Raymond Chandler could never have imagined an L.A. like this, where hard-boiled, private-eye vampires fight crime, as well as commit a few during lunch breaks.”\u003cbr\u003e“Acevedo has proven once again that he is a very disturbed man—and I mean that in the absolute finest sense of the term.”\u003cbr\u003e“Warning: The author of this book must be a vampire, because he had me hypnotized from page one. I defy anyone to read the first chapter of Acevedo’s \u003ci\u003eThe Nymphos of Rocky Flats\u003c\/i\u003e and not fall under its spell. Vampire P.I. Felix Gomez is irresistibly entertaining.”\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eThe Nymphos of Rocky Flats\u003c\/i\u003e is a witty, fast-paced, detective tale that also manages to update vampire lore in clever and imaginative ways.”\u003cbr\u003e“Deliciously unique. A smooth combination of Anne Rice and Michael Connelly, with a generous portion of Dave Barry. Loaded with thrills, sex, violence, and laughs, both mystery fanactics and horror lovers will find plenty to love with this page-turning debut. Acevedo is a writer to watch!”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780061567186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Harper Voyager","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":41061387567310,"sku":"9780061567186","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/9780061567186.jpg?v=1648349300","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780061567186","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
