“[Acevedo] is a very disturbed man—and I mean that in the absolute finest sense of the term.”
—Tim Dorsey, author of Nuclear Jellyfish

Felix Gomez, Latino vampire detective extraordinaire, tackles a sexy werewolf cabal in Werewolf Smackdown, the fifth installment in Mario Acevedo’s satirical supernatural series. The author’s wonderfully twisted blend of comedy, horror, and detective noir—expertly flourished in such books as The Nymphos of Rocky Flat and Jailbait Zombie—places him in the august company of Eric “Anonymous Rex” Garcia and Christopher “Bloodsucking Fiends” Moore, while earning him raves from coast to coast. The Baltimore Sun calls Acevedo’s novels, “decidedly good, unclean, unwholesome fun,” while author and fan J.A. Konrath calls them, “a smooth combination of Anne Rice and Michael Connelly, with a generous portion of Dave Barry.”

Review:

"The Nymphos of Rocky Flats is a witty, fast-paced, detective tale that also manages to update vampire lore in clever and imaginative ways." -- El Paso Times on The Nymphos of Rocky Flats

"Deliciously unique. A smooth combination of Anne Rice and Michael Connelly, with a generous portion of Dave Barry. Loaded with thrills, sex, violence, and laughs, both mystery fanactics and horror lovers will find plenty to love with this page-turning debut. Acevedo is a writer to watch!"--JA Konrath on Nymphos of Rocky Flats

"Decidedly good, unclean, unwholesome fun set in the thick of Denver's mountainous spaces."--Baltimore Sun on Jailbait Zombie

"Raymond Chandler could never have imagined an L.A. like this, where hard-boiled, private-eye vampires fight crime, as well as commit a few during lunch breaks."--Booklist on X-Rated Bloodsuckers

"Acevedo has proven once again that he is a very disturbed man--and I mean that in the absolute finest sense of the term."--Tim Dorsey on X-Rated Bloodsuckers

""The Nymphos of Rocky Flats" is a witty, fast-paced, detective tale that also manages to update vampire lore in clever and imaginative ways."--El Paso Times on The Nymphos of Rocky Flats

"Fans of splattery Hollywood-style horror will have fun with this tale of violence and mayhem."--Publishers Weekly on Jailbait Zombie

"The hero of this whodunit is an Iraqi Freedom soldier turned vampire turned gumshoe. The plot tests credulity here and there, but the snappy dialogue (pun intended), the pace and the porn stars (supernatural and otherwise) who populate the book more than compensate."--Playboy on Jailbait Zombie

From the Back Cover:

The claws—and the fangs—are coming out!

Felix Gomez, undead P. I., doesn't have a hellhound in this fight—which is just one reason why he's not willing to help an alpha werewolf attorney eliminate his shapeshifting rival . . . permanently. So now there's a civil war brewing between two vicious lycanthrope factions—and it's threatening to explode into a blood-bath that'll engulf all creatures, living and undead.

Adding to the intrigue is the sudden reappearance of an ex-girlfriend and a gang of rogue bloodsuckers determined to take Felix's head off. So it looks like one vampire detective extraordinaire is going to be fangs deep in trouble when the fur begins to fly.
