I don't think the book was bad, but it was a bad choice for me. Too cozy for my tastes, and just felt like a lot of nothing happened. I also would be absolutely furious if someone found my dog hurt, knew it was my dog, took the dog to give it medical attention, and didn't reach out to me as soon as they possibly could. That part rubbed me the wrong way so much!!

Southern vampire hunters run a small town funeral parlor, and things have been quiet on the living-dead side of work since The Incident a few years back. The Strigoli (vampires) have returned, and four generations of Evans women must work together to save the town.

I LOVE a southern inspired book, and this one brought the Texas charm. I have been to many Texas funeral parlors, and this book could've taken place at any of them. The Evans women were spunky and dramatic, and the townsfolk were believably sleepy. Bless Your Heart shined most when you were following around one character (usually after dark) while something spooky happens.

This book wasn't too spooky, too goofy, too gory, or really too much of anything. It was a bit slow at the beginning and picked up around the halfway point; I read the last half a lot faster. I did find myself struggling to follow some plot points, but I think it's beause I couldn't remember all the character names.

If you want a middle of the road southern vampire book, this is a fun, quick read. The vampires do read a bit more zombie-like, so if you like zombies, you might like it, too.

DID NOT FINISH

I tried both the audio and the ebook. It just wasn't pulling me in. DNF 20%

3.5 mettons, c'est un peu slow bine, une des personnages est vraiment méchante et me tombait sur les nerfs mais sinon, très divertissant.
Le personnage du shérif était sweet à fond
