Recent Reads {The Dead Travel Fast}

The Dead Travel Fast by Deanna Raybourn - Quite some time ago, I read the Lady Julia Grey mysteries by Deanna Raybourn and enjoyed them.  Then a few weeks ago I spotted this new title by Raybourn and picked it up.  It's a vampire story!  After laughing at myself for my recent dive into reading about the "undead" I decided I would give this one a try too.  At first attempt, I found it difficult to stay engaged with the book and set it aside after the first chapter.  It's possible I was just too distracted at the time to focus on reading, because when I picked it up and restarted it several days ago, I found it to be another light read with an unconventional heroine and mix of mystery and folklore.  So after a false start, I did actually enjoy this book and will keep an eye out for more by this author.
