Vampires of Melbourne

Lissa Wilson has seen more than enough death in her family, so when people start being savagely killed whenever she has a night out in Melbourne, she's determined to investigate and to make the killing stop. Even when she realises the murders must be the work of a vampire. She reluctantly teams up with the painfully-awkward suburban vampire, Gary, who has been instructed by Melbourne's vampires to find out who's making existence so difficult for the undead community. But in getting to the undead heart of the matter, Lissa and Gary face more challenges than Gary's appalling fashion sense. Particularly when the idea of living forever can be a big temptation for someone who has lost so much. 'A well-made plot with a killer (literally) ending.' - Kerry Greenwood 'It's certainly a most unusual vampire novel. Lissa Wilson is a wonderful character; not because she's an heroic supergirl, but because she rings true. If you can get this book, do.' - Charlaine Harris, author of the Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood novels.

Lissa Wilson's life hasn't been quite the same since people she cared about started getting themselves killed. By vampires. And Lissa learnt that the opposite of life is not always death. On the plus side, she made a new friend. Gary Hooper may be the worst best friend a librarian could have, and easily the worst vampire ever, but he has taught Lissa the real meaning of life. Gary's worldview has also improved remarkably since meeting Lissa, but all that could be lost if she discovers what services he provides Melbourne's undead community. Meanwhile, as their friendship brings him closer to the humanity he lost, it also puts them both in grave danger. And there's a big chance that the evil stalking them could them both killed-in his case, for good this time.
