This book is not at all what you would expect when starting a vampire
novel. It is not strictly any one genre but rather a combination of
multiple At some points it reminds you of a classic western while at
other times it seems like more of a paranormal romantic suspense. I
thought this did vary a lot depending on what city the story was taking
place in at the time. For example while in Wyoming it is much more of a
classic Western, while in NYC its more of the paranormal suspense. The
story was very well-written and the genre mixing happens pretty much
seamlessly. Which is quite a feat in and of itself. The characters are
well developed and interesting. With their own well detailed
backgrounds. There is also the revised take on the vampire myth. They
take the classic myth and add their own unique twists. While it was not
my favorite of the year I did enjoy reading it and dont regret starting
it. If you are looking for a well-written new vampire twist with some
cowboy action thrown in you should definitely pick this one up. For
myself, I am looking forward to seeing what else they have written.

Embark on Tucker and Lizzie's journey into the dark world of vampires, secret ancient heritage, and their fight to save humanity, with the help of a cowboy and his posse, which includes his peculiar father, weapon/conspiracy-savvy friend, and his faithful, canine companion, Rex.
What I enjoyed most about The Cowboy and the Vampire was the balance of genre-romance, mystery, horror, and comedy, all wrapped up in a delightful adventure that keeps the pages turning.
Lizzie and Tucker fall in love unexpectedly after she literally crashes in on his world, but his cowboy lifestyle and her city life bring them at odds, though only in the beginning-for love teaches them soon that is has no boundaries, even when your lover grows fangs.
After Lizzie, a reporter, interviews a vampire named Julius, and witnesses a gruesome turning of people, she flees to Tucker, unknowing that Julius' goal is to capture and potentially kill her. And Lizzie is also unaware, much to Tucker's dismay, that she is at the heart of a 2,000 year-old legend that could ultimately change the structure of good and evil forever.
Tucker and his posse team up with another vampire, Lazarus, to save Lizzie and themselves from Julius' wrath. Who will live or die becomes a suspenseful journey that will have you cheering to the end.
I found the pacing of this novel very smooth, as authors McFall and Hayes pinpoint key plots and emotional drama in a witty, rich language that balances horror, romance, and comedy. Though Julius' character fit the classic vampire role, other characters, such as Lazarus, Tucker, Elita, Lenny, and Tucker's animals were as real as you and me. The dialogue Tucker has with his animals is hilarious, and I think some of that bleeds over into his relationship with Lizzie, which sets up great character development between the two. I also enjoyed the surprising twists layered through the scenes, because they were not only logical, but also added conflict, and progressed the plot well.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book-it is sexy, dark, witty, and nothing less. I gave it five stars for good writing, thorough attention to details and character development, originality, pacing, and a perfect balance of genres.

Wow... an unexpected great read! Especially, since this book was first released before the Twilight/ Trueblood craze. I can see why this book has it's own cult following, and can't wait for the next book from Hays and McFall.
