Ugh, Marcus and Theo were soo darned annoying! If I'd realized that they didn't get better I would have DNF'd but once I reached 50% I figured I might as well finish it. The ending was okay, I did figure out who the queen was by around 65%. I did enjoy the humor and it wasn't too gorey until near the end. If the MC wasn't so whiny and slow on the pick up I would have enjoyed it more.

This was such a fun read - it delivered on the heartwarming family moments, the humor, the campiness, a bit of gore, and even some action. I loved the relationship between Theo and her brother Marco and that really was one of the best parts of this book. I guessed one of the reveals of this book that isn’t the main reveal but it didn’t make me like this book any less. Probably the only thing I didn’t like about this book was that all these awesome elements didn’t come into the book sooner. It would have been interesting to have more clues woven in earlier on and had some moments of terror even sooner. It also may have been interest if there was more of a tie in to the town itself and what brought vampires to this place so long ago. Overall, highly recommend this read!
