Product Description

Felix Gomez returned from the war in Iraq a changed man—once a soldier, now forever a vampire. So the undead underworld put his skills to work as a private detective, specializing in the sordid, the sexy, and the supernatural.

After surviving aliens, nymphomaniacs, and x-rated bloodsuckers, it's high time for a vacation. Now the aliens are back in a fiendish conspiracy with the U.S. government, and only Felix stands between them and the Earth women they covet. But when an army hit man attacks Felix and the bodacious vampire sexpert, Carmen, not even the astonishing erotic powers of the Kama Sutra for the Undead may be able to save them.

From Publishers Weekly
Setting the stage for Felix Gomez's hard-boiled third adventure (after 2007's X-Rated Bloodsuckers), a dying alien tells the vampire PI to find Goodman and save the Earth women. Felix is already on a case, collecting pages of a manuscript called The Undead Kama Sutra that supposedly shows how to increase a vampire's psychic energies and healing abilities through sex. The search has led Felix to the Florida Keys and researcher Carmen Arellano. After a guest at a vampire resort dies by alien energy blaster, Felix and Carmen track down the mysterious Goodman, a retired army colonel somehow connected to the disappearance of three other women. When Carmen is kidnapped by aliens, Felix must save the day. Curiously low on sex given the title and the example of previous volumes, the story collapses in a deus ex machina that may leave even Acevedo's fans less than eager for Felix's next escapade. (Mar.)

From Booklist
In Acevedo’s third bitingly funny Felix Gomez vampire-detective caper, Felix honors alien Gilbert Odin’s dying wish, “Save the Earth women.” Aliens have serious plans for them, and Felix, who distinguishes humans by their red auras, must use all his powers to save them. He’s aided by Cuban vamp sexpert Carmen Arellano—quite a character, what with her Santeria skills, killer body, and manuscript exploring the Kama Sutra. Plus she’s the astute proprietor of an island resort for exclusive vampires and their “chalices,” humans who willingly offer their blood. When a chalice goes missing, are aliens to blame? --Whitney Scott

Review

Customer Reviews

zany paranormal Noir
In a Sarasota, Florida motel room that caters to hookers and pot buyers, Gilbert Oldon the alien lies dying. He called vampiric private investigator Felix Gomez to come to his death bed immediately. Gomez wonders how his former client who hired him to handle THE NYMPHOS OF ROCKY FLATS outbreak in Colorado knew he was on the Florida Interstate on a more personal case, finding THE UNDEAD KAMA SUTRA tome that allegedly provides instruction on increasing psychic power through sex; still this is the alien so he rushes to the motel. There the dying Oldon directs Gomez to "find Goodman" in order to save the women.

Felix is confused by Oldon's last words so he remains on his case, which leads him to the Florida Keys where he meets researcher Carmen Arellano. When three women vanish without a trace and an alien blaster kills a guest at a nearby vampire resort, Gomez and Arellano team up to learn what is going on starting with seeking out Goodman; who is a former US Army colonel. Still not concerned even when he considers how knowledgeable his original source was, Felix finding the missing females has turned personal when aliens abduct Carmen.

The third Gomez paranormal Noir (see X-RATED BLOODSUCKERS) is as zany as ever as the private investigator struggles with the Goodman affair as that intrudes on his collection of THE UNDEAD KAMA SUTRA pages. The story line is fast-paced and filled with action from Sarasota to the Keys. However, an improbable late twist will disappoint fans as that takes a major bite out of what had been a strong thriller.

More Great Fun
Another installment of fun from a writer who has mastered mixing humor, horror, and 1940s style detective fiction.

Dissapointing
This book was a bit of a disappointment. When I think of the word "undead" with "kama sutra" i think if crazy vampire sex, NOT at all what this book was about. This book was about a detective who is on a mission to save earth women. He had to hunt aliens with the help of his vampire freinds. He got involved in politics, the govern't, and golf. The most memorable part of the book is about the bum who helped him get washed up. there was NO Crazy vampire sex. The only thing that redeems this book is the author's sense of humor and perfect timing of the funny lines. The book, however, did not live up to it's name.
