- All the characters + the weird choices they made. Has Grady Hendrix ever met a woman?Inquiring minds want to know.
- The misogyny and racism. It’s just so casually there and not addressed properly. Grady always misses the mark on these topics. Almost as if he isn’t qualified to be writing about them. Weird!
- James is just a shit vampire

It felt very “white women’s tears” and of course the person who ended up taking charge and doing the dirty work was the one Black character.
I get that it’s probably supposed to be about the patriarchy and racism and gentrification, but I really don’t need to read about that from a white dude. I definitely will not be reading anymore of his books.
This was my first fiction audiobook and I did enjoy the narrator, so that’s something.
