Compact, concise; good advice with great maps.
By DCChris
Having only four days in Vienna, we wanted to pack in the most while keeping an eye on expenses. The “Top 10″ guide greatly facilitated the efficient organization of our sightseeing, cultural, and dining experiences. Took the guide’s advice and saved/saw the most by using the airport train and hop on/off two day tour bus pass. The included easy to read compact city center map complimented the guide. It’s not necessary to purchase a separate city map.

Vienna Top 10 is great
By T. Kucera
Very useful book as are all the TOP 10 books. Gives you good information in a quick orderly format. Maps are okay but a little small. The spots discussed in the guide could be denoted better on the maps. Otherwise, this is well worth buying and handy to have while touring.

Outstanding guide, very portable
By L. S. Reed
I like to do thorough research before a trip and frequently use the “big” travel books. But unless you’re visiting an area for a month there sometimes is more information than you can use. They’re also not that portable, which means they’re less useful as guides DURING the trip, and sometimes their maps aren’t that easy to use.

This guide avoids all those problems. As with all DK Eyewitness travel guides, it’s lavishly illustrated with photos, which help you see what places really look like, and it has excellent maps.

It’s a perfect “take with” book. We spent 5 days in Vienna recently (stayed a block from St. Stephens, right in the middle of things) and we used this book constantly. Vienna is a wonderful walking city and this book was easy to tote; no travel guide is useful out on the town if you left it in your room. We typically start the day with a general idea where we’re headed but like to improvise specific destinations, so we constantly need to check the map and look up attractions. This guide is ideal for that. I had several guides but this wound up being the one I used; it had the best detailed maps and just the right amount of information.

Hard Days Knight

Children are missing.

The police are stumped.

Halloween is coming, with an ancient evil on the horizon.

The vampires are the good guys.

This is not your ordinary fall weekend in Charlotte, NC. Vampire private detectives Jimmy Black and Greg Knightwood have been hired to keep a young client from being cursed for all eternity, but end up in a bigger mess than they ever imagined.

Suddenly trapped in the middle of a serial kidnapping case, Jimmy and Greg uncover a plot to bring forth an ancient evil into the world, and enlist the help of a police detective, a priest, a witch, a fallen angel and strip club proprietor to save the world. This unlikely band of heroes battles zombies, witches, neuroses and sunburn while cracking jokes and looking for the perfect bag of O-negative.

Unexpected pleasure
By Tracy Lynn Kaply
I was looking for inexpensive books for my Kindle and stumbled onto John Harkness’s Hard Day’s Knight. I had read his book, The Chosen, and thought it was ok, and at this price was totally willing to take a risk on this book.
Man,am I glad I did.
Witty, fast paced, an excellent story and fiercely awesome characters, this book has made me an indie convert.
I know that some people have a prejudice against self published books, but I think that this author exemplifies all the reasons why you should give indie authors a chance. He has quickly become one of my favorites, and since he has priced his books so reasonably, I have no reason not to buy anything he publishes immediately.
If you are looking for a fun story with interesting characters at a great price, this is your book.

It is a sardonic page-turner
By Valerie Huffman
Mysteries, detectives, and vampires??? Yep, count me in. Now, I am not going to summarize the book for you – mainly because I don’t personally find such reviews useful.

What I will tell you is that the sardonic tone of this book had me hooked from page (on my Kindle for Android – so not very far into the book at all). I was pleased to find that it was an enjoyable read the whole way through. In a busy week where I worked every day and had meeting into the evening every night, I finished this book in just four days. Typically it takes me a couple weeks or more to finish a novel.

The bottom line is this, if the story description sounds remotely interesting, give this one a try. You won’t regret it.

ps – Joss Whedon fans, this goes double for you.

A fun pair of supernatural slackers.
By Peter S. Bradley
Greg and Jimmy are at that awkward age when young adults begin to sense that it is time to give up up the games of childhood and accept the responsibilities of an adult. They are torn between the desire to change the world and the desire to sit on the couch in the parent’s basement and play X-Box. Greg and Jimmy have been at that awkward age for the last twenty years, ever since they died and were reborn as vampires. Since they are nerds, they have managed to turn their afterlife into a nerd fantasy of solving mysteries and playing low-rent superheroes.

In this instalment, Greg and Jimmy find themselves in a fast-paced story that begins with Jimmy’s kidnapping by a desparate punk who wants to be turned into a vampire to avoid the curse of a 13 year old witch, and then transitions into a confrontation with a demon, and morphs into a zombie uprising and putting down the near end of the world. Along the way, we are introduced to the pair’s childhood friend, now pushing 40 and an ordained priest, and to a very hot police detective.

The story is narrated in first person fashion by Jimmy. I found Jimmy’s asides, mental reservations, and descriptions of his even nerdier friend Greg very amusing. The story moved along at a fast clip.

I did have two nits to pick. First, the chapter conclusions frequently involved a foreshadowing of action in the next chapter along the lines of “And then my night turned to crap.” After awhile this got annoying.

Second, one of the spear carriers – a fallen angel named Phil – paraphases the line about “it is better to reign in Hell than to serve in Heaven” and attributes the line to Dante. Obviously, the line is from Milton’s Paradise Lost. Not a big point, but a gaffe. Let’s hope it gets corrected in the next edition.
