I keep telling myself that my reviews are getting too long and that I should shorten them, but there are so many things I want to say, that it's too hard to do. So here's another one. *Spoilers after next paragraph* How in the world does Glory get herself into these messes? Jerry should have stayed in town and kept a better eye on her. First her new protégée/fake BF gets drunk on New Year’s Eve and loses his voice just before a special appearance at the Grammy’s. Then they are blackmailed into providing Aggie, who’s a siren, with three male vampires for her mistress: Circe. And Circe wants Damian/Casanova. If she doesn’t get him and two other hunky vamps, she’s going to take Glory, Ray and Will instead. It bugs me that Glory gets so upset when Jerry has to go off somewhere with Mara, though leaving at the last minute on New Year’s Eve isn’t cool. But then while he’s gone, she sure doesn’t try very hard to keep ‘loyal’ to him. Seems like she has a bit of a double standard and doesn’t think things through in her ‘relationships’ with other guys. She is such a hypocritical two-timer in this one I almost hate her. And she was so nice in the first books. I was hoping Jerry would punish her for a least a hundred years. But I’m glad they made up, since I really like them together. Even though he has a Scottish temper, you can tell that Jerry really loves Glory, just by the fact that he keeps getting her out of jams and forgiving her. After this book though, I’m not sure she deserves him. Now if Ray would just get out of the picture. I do feel sorry for Glory with all the water dunking’s and clothing changes. Especially since she hates water and loves to dress fashionably. Having Lily in the story is going to be interesting, especially since she doesn’t like her mother either. And her boyfriend, Dracula, and his two buddies are loose cannon, but very cool. I’m glad they got Westwood. But Glory’s gang still have Simon to worry about. Wow. There’s so many different people and factions at Ray’s party, I had to struggle to remember who was who and what they were doing there and how they fit into Glory’s plans. It was so confusing that I couldn’t pay as much attention to the action line as I’d liked. But it was hilarious. I bet Glory and her gang are glad it’s over. And in such an electrically flamboyant way. Thoughts. 1)Is Aggie going to be around now? Not sure how I feel about that. 2)Flo and Richard are so cute together. He’s so patient with her moods. 3)I hope they drop the whole blueberry thing. It’s too corny and it’s not needed for the story. Besides how many blueberry muffins, etc. can Valdez eat? (Don’t answer that.) 4)And what’s with Simon’s chocolate? I kept expecting something to happen with that. Maybe he’s just waiting. Fave scenes: Glory and Ray captured by Aggie, the 1890’s New Orleans ‘visit’, Barry and the dumpster and the house fire. Gloriana St. Clair, better known as Glory, is a vampire just trying to live herlife. She's been around for about 400 years and she loves living under the radar.Austin, Texas is the perfect city for Glory to open her vintage clothing store andcontinue her low key life. While in Austin, Glory runs into lots of trouble andcrazy characters. It's up to Glory to balance the crazy without getting moreattention as a vampire. Real Vampires Don't Diet is the fourth in the Glory series. The only reason I'vedecided to review it is because this series is too good to pass up. Glory is a verycharismatic character that one can't help but love. Vampires are usually portrayedas perfect beings and Glory is anything but perfect. The supporting characters arejust as fabulous and enhance this vampire world. If you are looking for a funvampire that can't seem to stay out of trouble, Glory is your gal.
