“Biting in Plain Sight”
A vampire veterinarian, Dr Sophie Trudeau, from Embarrass, MN notices that another vampire is killing young women and decides to enlist the help of Queen Betsy to stop him. Meanwhile, local farmer Liam has been getting up the courage to confess his attraction to Sophie and insists on accompanying her.
I liked that the town basically knew Sophie was a vampire, but didn’t give her trouble about it because she’s a good vet. Liam was cute, if a little heavy-handed and alpha. Betsy and Eric Sinclair seem to be getting along better, which is nice.
Unfortunately, what I appreciated most from the first couple of books, the accurate depiction of Minnesota geography and setting, was more lax in this one. Davidson mentions in the introduction that “There is a town called Embarrass, Minnesota, but it's not as close to Babbitt Lake as I made it seem.” Unfortunately, there is no Babbitt Lake. Birch Lake is in Babbitt, MN, and that’s about 15 miles from Embarrass. Also, there’s no Tyler Falls, MN either. There’s a Taylor’s Falls, MN…and I don’t see any reason she couldn’t have set the action there. So, there’s your Minnesota Geography lesson for the day. Do authors think people won’t notice these things? ( )
