Happy Almost New Year!! It's been a down year for me, hopefully it will rise up in 2015.
      
My last recommend of the year is Uncle Janice by Matt Burgess, author of   Dogfight: A Love Story. This is a cop story set in NYC, very good and fast moving. Protagonist is a female patrol officer trying to make detective in the Narcotics division. Fast read.

For the oldies but goodies, I want to recommend the Sandman Slim series by Richard Kadrey, starting with the book of that title. This series is aimed at a younger crowd, more your True Blood niche, but is witty and well thought out.
