Taste the Blood of Pete (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781542580663)

"If Jim Butcher and Terry Pratchett had a book baby, it would be Pete!"

While Pete worries about Christmas shopping for the first time since 1972, trouble-making vampire Christopher Greeley rolls back into Hollywood, looking for a taste of the greasy magic power that now courses through Pete's bloodstream - a power Pete's not even sure he wants. It might control his hunger for blood but the side effects may vary, including accidentally summoning ravenous, building-destroying monsters.

A mysterious figure from the past could hold the key to controlling those side effects, but first he wants Pete to acquire a powerful greasy magic artifact (through less-than-lawful means, of course). And to top things off, Pete keeps stumbling into the leadership role and the other vampires would be happy to keep him there. Looks like Pete's hopes for some quiet time with his human girlfriend, Angie, are going to have to wait - again.
