If I may rephrase the cover blurb: "Imagine Anne Rice being trampled by the cast of The Office."

If the current deluge of formula vampire stories are sending you off to sleep, something wicked this way comes in the form of EVER YOUR SERVANT by K.A. Corlett.



Joelle works for a department store in a Canadian city. She runs one of the ossified firms' attempt at trendy, a health-food section. The bosses are what you'd imagine, obsessed with inane protocol and office politics. Joelle's best friends are the slacker geeks who run electronics, although she has a work ethic which they lack. Ms. Corlett has a gift for smart dialogue, and an ear finely tuned toward 9-5, and you will be splitting your sides when a tall dark stranger arrives to cast a pall over the scene. Max owns a franchise, the newly installed cyber café, and with independence from the powers that be, he begins to wreck havoc, not only upon the one remaining good nerve of the pompous managerial staff, but upon Joelle, who has never before met a man she couldn't manage.



Max is (ostensibly) from Quebec, a fluent French speaker with Continental manners. He's handsome, bright and aristocratic, and Joelle's seriously off-balance around him. He's also very pale, and has some unique habits, like hanging upside down from the ceiling in his darkened office. Fellow workers begin to drop dead, and even though Joelle guesses who is to blame, she can't kick a growing passion for the urbane, mysterious Max.

"Ever Your Servant" is by turns funny, witty, terrifying and sexy. What's more, there's a formidable wealth of occult knowledge carefully folded into the humor and gothic romance. If you're looking for a vampire tale with a genuine--not mass-produced--bite, pick this one up.
