Smith-Ready’s musical references are spot on, as is her take on corporate radio’s creeping airwave hegemony. Add in the irrepressible Ciara, who grew up in a family of grifters, and the results rock. — Publisher’s Weekly

A colorful premise and engaging characters make the author’s latest a fun read. — Library Journal

Just when I think the vampire genre must be exhausted...I read a book that refreshed my flagging interest. Jeri Smith-Ready’s WICKED GAME was consistently surprising and original...I highly recommend it. — New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris, Book & Blog review

Strikingly original, fascinating characters, rich with as much style and rhythm as the music her vampires love — Rachel Caine, bestselling author of the Weather Warden series

An addictive page-turner revving with red hot sex, truly cool vampires, and rock ’n’ roll soul. — Kresley Cole, New York Times bestselling author of Hunger Like No Other
