"Imagining vampires at the heart of the social struggles of 1920s, "Moonshine "blends a tempestuous romance with dramatic historical fiction, populated by a lively mythology inhabiting the gritty New York City streets

"Zephyr Hollis is an underfed, overzealous social activist who teaches night school to the underprivileged of the Lower East Side. Strapped for cash, Zephyr agrees to help a student, the mysterious Amir, who proposes she use her charity worker cover to bring down a notorious vampire mob boss. What he doesn''t tell her is why. Soon enough she''s tutoring a child criminal with an angelic voice, dodging vampires high on a new blood-based street drug, and trying to determine the real reason behind Amir''s request--not to mention attempting to resist his dark, inhuman charm.

Praise

"[E]ntertaining and potentially a good start for a series offering a different take on the undead craze." 11/01/2009

"The prose is generally solid, and Johnson's light, tongue-in-cheek approach makes it surprisingly easy to imagine supernatural creatures picketing Gentleman Jimmy Walker's City Hall." 03/01/2010
