Zombies and Witches and Vamps . . . Oh, My!
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas—at least that’s Delilah Street’s hope. With Sin City’s vampire and werewolf mobs wanting to cash in her chips once and for all, she’s retreating with her partner Ric Montoya and half-wolfhound Quicksilver to her Kansas birthplace. Unfortunately, when it comes to finding trouble, there’s no place like home. . . .
It doesn’t take long before Delilah realizes she’s not in Vegas anymore. Zombie cowboys and spectral cattle drives are kicking up dust, the local weather girls are total witches who forecast perfect storms, and some Hollywood fanatic is recasting zombies as the greatest stars of the silver screen. And speaking of silver, Delilah’s special affinity for the all-purpose monster-repellent leads her posse straight down a silver brick road—and into a notso- fun house of mirrors—putting her face-to-face with her dicey past and a mystery woman named Lilith, who’s a real dead ringer for Delilah. The key word being dead.
About the Author
Carole Nelson Douglas, author of more than fifty fantasy and science fiction, mystery, mainstream, and romance novels, was an award-winning reporter and editor for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. After writing some bestselling high fantasy novels and SF thrillers, she imported fantasy notions into her Midnight Louie mystery series, which features a hard-boiled Las Vegas PI who’s a feline “Sam Spade with hairballs.” Her Irene Adler historical series made Carole the first author to use a woman from the Sherlock Holmes stories as a protagonist in the 1991 New York Times Notable Book of the Year, Good Night, Mr. Holmes. She’s won or been short-listed for more than fifty writing awards in nonfiction, sf/fantasy, mystery, and romance genres, including several from the Romance Writers of America and Romantic Times BOOKreviews magazine, and the Cat Writers’ Association. In 2008, RT BOOKreviews magazine named Carole a “pioneer of the publishing industry. Carole and husband Sam Douglas, a former art museum exhibitions director and kaleidoscope designer, are kept as pets by five stray cats and a dog in Fort Worth, Texas. She collects vintage clothing, and does a mean Marilyn Monroe impersonation, and, yes, she does dance, but not with werewolves. As far as she knows.

Skip It, Dec 14 2010

This was a disappointing installment in what has previously been a pretty good series. There was no underlying mystery or story for this book. It could have easily been condensed into a couple chapters or a short story and published in an anthology. As a reader, I'm bored with the too-perfect Ric and the constant inner angst of he and Delilah as a couple. Let's move on to something more interesting in the next one please.

What is going on?, Jan 18 2011
By Susan Dunn - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Silver Zombie: Delilah Street: Paranormal Investigator (Mass Market Paperback)
I absolutely loved the previous books in this series and was so disappointed by this book. Seriously, the first half of the book should be "What is going on?" It is written in a weird abstract technique without plot. The plot finally comes together about half way through the book and becomes a story. The nightmare at the gynecologist office - I suppose it was supposed to be healing for the character, but came off as a major cringe-worthy episode for this reader. The book falls into the abstract writing method again for the last quarter and I just skipped a lot a pages because I just wasn't interested anymore, and very frustrated by this time.

Zombies in Oz (No spoilers!), Dec 31 2010
By H. Harrelson "LadyFate" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Silver Zombie: Delilah Street: Paranormal Investigator (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is a slight departure from the previous Delilah Street novels in that it deals more with Delilah's back story than any current goings-on in the new Vegas CinSim scene. You get a better look at Lilith and how Delilah ends up in Vegas. For me, it was less action oriented and more story building. It's great if you are devoted to the series but it's not a great starter book to get into them. I enjoyed it and will continue to wait, with tapping nails, for the next book.
