BAD TO THE BONE ┬а Vampire thief Raylene Pendle doesnтАЩt need more complications in her life. Her Seattle home is already overrun by a band of misfits, including Ian Stott, a blind vampire, and Adrian deJesus, an ex-Navy SEAL/drag queen. But Raylene still canтАЩt resist an old palтАЩs request: seek out and steal a bizarre set of artifacts. Also on the hunt is a brilliant but certifiably crazy sorceress determined to stomp anyone who gets in her way. But RayleneтАЩs biggest problem is that the death of IanтАЩs vaunted patriarch appears to have made him the next target of some blood-sucking sociopaths.┬а Now Raylene must snatch up the potent relics, solve a murder, and keep Ian safeтАФall while fending off a psychotic sorceress. But at least she wonтАЩt be alone. A girl could do a lot worse for a partner than an ass-kicking drag queenтАФright?
