[QUOTE="Richards, post: 8641954, member: 508"] I'm now reading [i]Dhampir[/i] by Barb and J. C. Hendee, another library book sale 50-cent investment. So far it's pretty good: the protagonist is a swordswoman who's really a con artist, who bilks villages by taking advantage of their superstitions to rid the town of "undead forces" - which always takes the form of her half-elf partner in crime, who she "kills" and then "takes the body away to perform a ritual in secret to make sure it doesn't rise again." Two problems, though: she's been saving her money and bought a tavern where she plans to retire, much to the consternation of her half-elf partner; and there really [I]are [/I]undead in the area who are interested in this "undead hunter" who claims to be able to take them down. She knows almost nothing of her absent father; given the book's title I'm willing to bet he was a vampire and she's the dhampir the book's named after. Johnathan [/QUOTE]
