Love Bites (Sofie Metropolis Book 5)

In this fifth Sofie Metropolis novel, when 19-year-old Roula Kalomoira disappears, to the dismay of the entire Greek enclave of Astoria, Queens, in New York City, suspected neighborhood vampire Ivan Romanoff asks Sofie Metro PI to clear his family, including his slippery nephew, Vladimir, of any connection to the missing Roula Kalomoira or the blood-draining murders of local women by a killer dubbed "the Bleeder." As the tabloids speculate on the existence of a secret vampire society in Queens, Sofie downs her favorite caffeinated frappes. And if her plate isn’t full enough, things heat up on the romantic front when ‘bounty hunter’ Jake Porter and yummy Greek baker Dino both decide to vie for her undivided attention. Meanwhile, a former movie queen wants Sofie to dig up dirt on disgraced physician Weston Westervelt (aka "the Chop Doc").


PRAISE FOR "LOVE BITES":
"The fifth Sofie Metropolis novel (after 2008's Working Stiff) from Carrington (the pseudonym of Lori and Tony Karayianni) offers plenty of fang-in-cheek fun... Zany Sofie, while rarely breaking a fingernail, closes another case in bubbly Greek style."
—Publishers Weekly

"The supernatural elements, engaging humor, quirky characters, and the ethnic backdrop-not to mention Sofie's sense of style-are all reminiscent of Janet Evanovich's Between-the-Numbers series and should appeal to the same audience."
—Booklist
