The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires

4.5⭐

I really enjoyed this one! I definitely didn't agree with some things in here but it was such a fun little vampire small town story.

This is my third book from this author and so far it's sorta been a mixed experience but after this one I'd definitely look into more of his books in the future!

Also who am I for now possibly digging the vampire vibe

This was really good. It spoke a lot about slavery and privilege and I highly reccomend this one to horror lovers out there.

Home invasion stories definitely scare me but this one was kinda hard to get into as the story progressed. 3 stars for right now.
