From Goodreads: Margaret Anne and Maxwell Sinclair have lost their only son and one another.“I shall love you forever.” Her prophetic last words to Maxwell haunt him for what seems like an eternity. Reunited by a miracle, they have little time for bliss as their idyllic existence is once again threatened. When an assortment of criminals and hunters come calling, the Sinclairs learn that home isn’t always a safe haven — even for a couple of vampires! Gone are the coffins that contain a handful of dirt from the homeland. Gone too are the crosses, wreathes of garlic flowers and all the things you thought would keep you safe. Night after night the Sinclairs prowl neighboring cities ridding them of their criminal element with style, humor and marital devotion reminiscent of Nick and Nora Charles. Amid plots and subplots, Margaret Anne leads Maxwell into a world of computers and cars, he recounts tales from an earlier era and they both lead an intrepid vampire hunter on a merry chase. What Luck! is a about greed, violence, unconditional loyalty and a love that refused to die. Not today’s typical vampire fare – these characters are seasoned with a pinch of humor and a dash of class.
___________________________________
I’m sorry to say that this novel just isn’t for me. I love vampires, but I honestly had a hard time following the storyline in What Luck! For me, it seemed to jump around a lot, and while many readers are easily able to follow, and love, stories like this, I tend to struggle a bit comprehending everything that is happening. I thought the novel started out very strong and I was pulled into the story almost immediately, but became confused around the time Margaret Anne transitioned. From there, the story became a little too fast paced for me as the Sinclair’s worked to build their new lives together, ridding the world of evil. While I do love the premise of this novel, and enjoyed having “grown-up” vampires as opposed to the young, angsty teenage vampires that make up so many books today, I can personally only give this novel one star.
