Bizarre. Not a fan. It wasn’t the worst book, but it was just…not my vibe I guess.

When it comes down to it, I think I like my vamps a little more swoon-worthy.

In a terrible (review) transition.. I think though Hendrix had some great one-liners in this book, I seriously think he has daddy issues.

Another point (with no smooth transition):
In the end, Patty was the strong female lead we needed. But I’m kind of OVER reading things where the women aren’t believed. I don’t need 2020 fictional reading to make me mad. (Thank you Reality for covering that base.)

4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

First read of 2021 ~ specifically for a book club. It was fun and dark and spooky... feeling much like a classy southern X-Files episode. Not my first read by this author, but Grady Hendrix is definitely on my radar for future work.
