I give this warning because I found that the back of the book referenced situations in the novel that didn't happen until much later in the work, so those situations lost their element of surprise.
Our stalwart heroine, Audra, decides to audition to work at
a strip club with hysterical results; it turns out she needs
to take a remedial stripping class on pole work in order to
succeed. After a while, she gets used to how to handle the
pole, her customers, and her coworkers. Despite a "don't
date the customers" rule, she
After a tumultuous night out, Audra (stage name: Claudia, like from INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE) has to start learning to function in the world in which she's been deposited with few instructions and little understanding. Later, she has to decide if its better to be with someone elegant and tyrannical or with someone sweet and goofy who has a lot of problems related to his anti-social habits and diet. Oh, yeah, and she really has to deal with a possible vampire/werewolf war.
DIARY OF A VAMPIRE STRIPPER is funny in the same ways that the movies BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, MY BEST FRIEND IS A VAMPIRE, and I KISSED A VAMPIRE are funny: they're campy, but they're campy with heart. Audra's internal monologue is hysterical, and the set up for future books makes you want to know if and how her situation is going to work out.
Book Summary
Trying to juggle college tuition and rent, young Audra Perez seeks a fast fix to her financial woes by auditioning as a stripper for the Hoochie Coochie Club. What she didn't expect was to actually be chosen. Barely a few months into her new job, she becomes acquainted with a mysterious, distinguished gentleman by the name of Darren Von Eldon, and they secretly begin dating against club rules. Then one passionate night at his beach house changes Audra's life forever.
Now as a newly-awakened vampire, this only adds to her day-to-day mundane burdens. Refusing to drain humans, she hunts birds for nourishment, and finagles a way to avoid going to classes during the day. But bigger problems loom ahead. Radical cops that know about her kind roam the night, seeking to destroy any and all ‘monsters', and her best friend's family has a bone to pick with Audra's. Headless human bodies are turning up on vamp and were turf, each side blaming the other for the murders. It's up to Audra and her friend Lu to figure out who's doing the killings before an all-out war happens between their families, their search leading them beneath the city streets to encounter an abomination neither one of them will ever forget.
And the relationship issues? Well, it's not easy dealing with a boyfriend and a vampire husband, so let's not even go there...
