At Tor.com: Saltwater Vampires by Kirsty Eagar
4June 13, 2014 by Heidi
I’ve been threatening to take Saltwater Vampires on my annual October trip to Miami for a couple of years now, but it was finally busted out as the first book of the summer when I was craving none other than some weird combo of beach reads and horror. And why yes, Kirsty Eagar fit the bill nicely.
Saltwater Vampires was, sadly, far from perfect, but it was still a fun read that shows a good deal of promise should Eagar decide to enter the realm of speculative fiction again in the future. Read my full thoughts on all the ups and downs of vampirism in Australia at Tor.com.

I saw you post this on Instagram and immediately wanted it for the cover alone. So it was only so-so? Bummer. You must try vampires in a trashy regency romance novel next. I mean REALLY, Heidi.
Isn’t the cover awesome?! I love it. But yeah, only so-so overall. I will try trashy vampire regency romance next. I swar!
That makes me sad that this didn’t live up to expectations. I also totally did not know that you were writing at Tor! Yay!
I am! Yay indeed! But yeah, it didn’t live up to expectations for me. Others have enjoyed it more than I did though. I’m still curious about her contemporary work.
