Title: The Immortal Conquistador
Author: Carrie Vaughn
Genre: Urban fantasy
Rating: 4 out of 5
Set in the world of Kitty Norville…
Ricardo de Avila---now called Rick---would have followed Coronado anywhere. Yes, that Coronado, the conquistador. But Coronado never found what he sought—and Rick found immortality as a turned-against-his-will vampire.
Five hundred years later, Rick has spent his life going against the immortal grain. While he at first thought he was the only self-named-demon in existence---so ignorant of the truth he didn’t even know he was called vampire---now he keeps to himself and protects his mortal family. He’s spent his days as a bartender, helped a legendary gunslinger, appointed himself Master of Santa Fe, and now discovered a church hidden under the Vatican.
Immortal life is no piece of cake.
It’s been years since I read any of the Kitty books (Looking back, it seems I stopped reading after book six). I enjoyed them, and I have no idea why I stopped reading, so this was run return to that world. I love how different Rick is from traditional or more-popular vampire tropes. He’s a loner, and he’s fine with that. He didn’t even know what he was, thinking himself a demon, but drama and trouble seem to dog his steps. A quick, fun read.
