I wouldn't call this his best work, but Hendrix has done something amazing in this book. Once again, I am floored by his ability to write women in ways that I've never seen another male author accomplish. As someone from South Carolina, I love seeing the places I know represented in fictional horror that doesn't revolve around ghosts. This is such a unique take on vampires and I absolutely adore it.
