The Nightlife: Las Vegas Review

If there’s one thing worse than vampires, it’s vampires high on smack. Those are the ones you should really be afraid of according to Travis Luedke’s vamp-porn-gangster-thriller The Nightlife: Las Vegas.

The sequel to The Nightlife: New York, the books catches up with newly-graduated vampire Arron and golden oldie blood sucker Michelle. The pair head across country after the deadly events of the previous book and are trying to keep a low profile. 

Hold on a second…how do you keep a low profile in Las Vegas? There are security cameras everywhere. This is one thing I didn’t understand about their choice of location but I’ll let it slide *thumbs up*. I suppose if they went to live in Amish country the book would have been nowhere near as fun.

Anyway, if you’re familiar with the series, Travis once again delivers another sex-filled novel about randy vampires. I felt Las Vegas got off to a bit of a slow start but once it gets going, the plot gets very interesting and there is a lot more steam in it than the previous book. There are funny moments and there is a lot of action as well. I don’t think this one if as sex or gore heavy as the previous one, focusing more on plot substance, which works out well. 

One thing I did find lacking though, like the previous novel was the scene setting. The book is very dialogue heavy. Not like that’s a bad thing, but I felt there was room here for more description of the many places the characters visited. 

But I’ll let that go because it’s funny to see vampires drugged up.

The Nightlight: Las Vegas gets 7/10.
