This was certainly an original story. Unicorns, vampires, and humans make a great combination! It was a fun book. For an evening of entertainment, it was exactly what I wanted!

This book was slow getting into but then picked up and ended up being a fairly good book. I'm hoping there will be another book because if bot the ending will keep you wondering what happens later on, because you can hide forever.

This book was HILARIBALLS! BRB, recommending to all my friends.
But don't read the goodreads reviews before you read it - spoiler city, even if they aren't marked!

I actually really liked this book. It was about what I expected but it was a fun read. I loved Pearl's sarcastic sense of humor and even loved the fact that she was so un-remorseful at first. I thought Evan and Bethany were great characters. His hero complex was hilarious especially when Pearl was trying to figure out who the unicorn was. I really enjoyed this book.

Se avete odiato Twilight, adorerete Drink, Slay, Love.
Se avete amato Twilight ( e avete un po' di senso dell'umorismo) amerete ugualmente Drink, Slay, Love.

Drink, Slay, Love is my first Sarah Beth Durst book but definitely not my last. With an odd mix of violence, romance, and laugh out loud humor this book has a little something for everyone.
Drink, Slay, Love is a story about vampires (not the sparkly kind.) These vampires are blood-sucking, human killing vampires. The only thing that changes that is when one of them, Pearl, is stabbed through the heart by a unicorn. She then develops the ability to walk in sunshine as well as a conscience. This causes problems when she is chosen to deliver a feast of humans to the kind of the vampires of New England.
Pearl was a very conflicted vampire. She wanted to please her family but that became more difficult as she developed a conscience and made human friends. She started out very aloof, cynical, and sarcastic. Throughout the book she stayed cynical and sarcastic but she also started to experience real feelings for the first time in her life. The Family (as Pearl called them) was very much like the mob. They were cruel, heartless vampires who only cared about themselves. They were willing to help Pearl clean up her messes but only if she was of some use to them. Evan and Bethany, on the other hand, were the opposites. They cared for Pearl and they wanted to help her. Bethany was a very rare friend who was fun, sweet, and nice. Evan was a sweet boy who had some secrets of his own. There was a great mix of characters.
The characters were great, the writing was fabulous, but the humor is what got me. This book is seriously hilarious. There are unicorn jokes, vampire jokes, Twilight jokes; just a ton of jokes that cracked me up. Pearl's sarcasm also added to the hilarity. Read this book for the humor if nothing else interests you about it.
Overall, Drink, Slay, Love is one book I am so glad I picked up. Even if you aren't a fan of vampires, I recommend this one. Just give it a try!
