Hollywood, California: three gruesome deaths within two weeks and every one of them a major star - an Oscar winner, an ingenue, and an action hero.  A serial killer is working through the Hollywood A-list and celebrities are running scared.Each crime scene is worthy of a classic horror movie, and all three victims share a connection to the powerful scream queen, Ovsanna Moore.  The stunning and formidable Moore is the legendary head of a Hollywood studio, as well as the writer and star of seventeen blockbuster horror films (and a few that went straight to DVD).She's also a 500 year old vampyre... but this is Hollywood after all, and no one ever looks their age.Beverly Hills Police Detective Peter King knows a lot about the City of Angels, but he certainly doesn't know that most of the famous actors in town are actually an established network of vampires. Or that secretive and seductive Ovsanna Moore happens to be their CEO.Moore and King may be from opposite sides of the Hollywood Hills, but both have something to gain by stopping the killer who the tabloids have dubbed the Cinema Slayer.  Ovsanna must protect her vampire legacy and her production schedule, while King just wants to keep his Beverly Hills beat as blood-free as possible.  But when the horror queen and the cop with the movie star looks form an unholy alliance, sparks fly and so do the creatures of the night.Film, television and Broadway star Adrienne Barbeau and New York Times bestselling author Michael Scott have teamed up to deliver this sexy, scary, and deliciously clever novel full of Hollywood glamour, behind-the-scenes secrets, and the truly bloodthirsty reality of Tinseltown.  So grab some popcorn and some holy water and lose yourself in the high-stakes, back-stabbing world of the Vampyres of Hollywood.… (mais)

Filled with surprising sparks of humor, Vampyres of Hollywood is an enjoyable read. Though told from two different first person povs, it's easy to follow each of the characters and tell them apart, so the authors did a good job there. Police Detective Peter King and Ovsanna "The Scream Queen" Moore are likeable characters and I think will read the next story in the series. Also, I like who the Vampyres of Hollywood turn out to be at the end. ( )

Fun romp through old and new Hollywood. There's a serial killer on the loose in Hollywood and it seems to be targeting one studio. That studio however is run by an old vampire who was around when they first started making the movies and was staring in them as well. Lot of name dropping of old old Hollywood and kind of reads like a suspense/mystery novel. Was a nice enjoyable read. Although the cover features Marilyn Monroe with fangs she does not figure into this story. ( )

It was "just okay". A bit silly, but no more than I expected. I read it just for the distraction that most fiction these days can offer. ( )

Authors Adrienne Barbeau and Michael Scott have created a vivid world where vampires walk the streets of Hollywood - a place strange enough for them to hide out in plain sight and make lives for themselves among America's cinematic royalty. The characters are well-written and full of depth and dimension, and the story is dense with a creative mysterious twist. The pacing of the novel makes it impossible to put down until the very last word, and the dialogue is smart and witty.

Vampyres of Hollywood is fun, fun, FUN! It is full of gory good details and has a certain flair that sets it apart from some of the other novels in the paranormal/vampire genre. Vampyres of Hollywood is extremely entertaining. Full of suspense and clever little references to vampires and movies, Vampyres of Hollywood does not disappoint. ( )

50 page rule applied to this one though I gave it a good 100. I think it may be one of those better listened to then read. ( )
