Fun and light, the chapters are a collection of time ordered short stories that come together well but could easily be read between other books as a little break.

Este libro nunca me decepciona. Ya escuché el audiolibro anteriormente y me encanta! Realmente el narrador hace un gran trabajo con la historia desarrollada por Drew Hayes.

En este libro nos encontramos a Fred. Fred es un contador. Fred es un vampiro. Fred no cree que una cosa tenga que quitar a la otra, así que está contento siendo las dos cosas. Pero cuando se reencuentra con una vieja compañera del secundario, nuestro protagonista se enfrenta a cosas que nunca creyó que se enfrentaría.

Y el resultado es... comiquísimo. Amo la narración, amo el humor, me reí en voz alta múltiples veces, y simplemente no lo podía dejar. Por si no lo saben, este libro es el primero de una saga de (por ahora) 7 libros. Pienso releerlos todos, porque son uno mejor que el otro. Recomendadísimo si quieren una lectura light, que los haga reír, y a través de la cual vuelen tan rápido como yo.

I enjoyed this book way more than I thought I would. I think it’s because most of us are not NBA all stores or medicine members so Fred is the example of what we would actually become if we somehow got turned into a supernatural/human. You don’t suddenly become Aragon from lord of the rings or the all perfect specimen of a werewolf. Your base personality is still the same even if you’ve changed species. This was lighthearted and oddly whimsical and I really loved it. A great palette cleanser for when you’re sick of really grimdark characters. I hardly recommend.
