Wicked Game

LATE NIGHT RADIO YOU CAN SINK YOUR TEETH INTO Recovering con artist Ciara Griffin is trying to live the straight life even if it means finding a (shudder!) real job. She takes an internship at a local radio station whose late-night time-warp format features 1940s blues 60s psychedelia 80s goth and more all with an uncannily authentic flair. Ciara soon discovers just how the DJs maintain their cred: theyre vampires stuck forever in the eras in which they were turned. Ciaras first instinct as always is to cut and run. But communications giant Skywave wants to buy WVMP and turn it into just another hit-playing clone. Without the station -- and the link it provides to their original Life Times -- the vampires would fade becoming little more than mindless ghosts of the past. Suddenly a routine corporate takeover is a matter of life and undeath. To boost ratings and save the lives of her strange new friends Ciara rebrands the station as WVMP the Lifeblood of Rock n Roll. In the ultimate con she hides the DJs vampire nature in plain sight disguising the bloody truth as a marketing gimmick. WVMP becomes the hottest thing around -- next to Ciaras complicated affair with grunge vamp Shane McAllister. But the gimmick enrages a posse of ancient and powerful vampires who arent so eager to be brought into the light. Soon the stakes are higher -- and the perils graver -- than any con game Ciaras ever played....
