I picked up Something Wicked as soon as it came out. I really enjoyed Catherine Mulvaney’s Run No More, and was looking forward to more from this author. This new book didn’t disappoint me. It was a very fast read for me. I finished it practically in one night, and didn’t only because I had to get up early in the morning.
Something Wicked is a paranormal romance with a vampire theme. It’s interesting how authors each take a different slant on vampires. One of the most unique vampire series is Christine Feehan’s Dark series that I have written about before on this site. In Something Wicked, Nash, the hero, sees being a vampire as a curse, and he’s looking for a way to cure himself. Regan is a journalist looking for a story, but finds herself a target of vampire revenge.
The plot takes some interesting twists, but for me, it is the author’s writing style and character development that makes the story so appealing. I was only a little disappointed in the ending. It seemed to be wrapped up very quickly and at least one aspect of the story could have been tied into the ending a little better, but overall the story was fast-paced and interesting.
I’ll definitely be checking out Catherine Mulvaney’s next book.
