Really wasn't vibing with this book, I've had mixed experiences with Grady Hendrix and this one was a miss for me, it's so slow and I feel like I've wasted too much time on nothing happening to care enough to keep going

Suuuuper interesting, suuuuper scary. However: I felt the SA was completely unnecessary and he touched on racial and gender inequality issues but never resolved those things in satisfying ways. However, it gave me a ton of nostalgia because it mentioned so many of my favorite true crime reads from over the years and it did keep me in my toes.

Two and half stars. Not great. An interesting premise but it just rolled along with regular trying-to-make-you-vomit descriptions of gross. Not my favourite Hednrix novel.

The book started of good, I was very into it and it made me laugh but half way through it started to drag and by the time it ended I wanted it to finish like 4 chapters ago. It is a different kind of vampire story so I did like the twist it had. I changed the rating because I just kept thinking of how annoying it was to a point.


I listened to this on and off.
