Bless Your Heart
by Lindy Ryan
Its funny because the synopsis stated there would be vampires, or at least it named them "Stragori" butt the creatures were more like ghouls... & to me ghouls are scary, butt dumb, so the build up & tension associated with the gruesume various deaths was kind of at odds with how i was picturing the story in my head.
Actually, the whole story was like that, the tension was great! Except nobody was doing anything about it, just worrying about whether or not someone else would figure out what had happened years ago.
There were multiple POVs: Luna, the youngest Evans, is just learning the truth of her family & their ungrateful role in taking care of the undead. Her mother, Grace, who grew up similarly clueless & caused her daughter to be clueless as well. Lenore, both trying to rebuild their lost knowledge, yet still traditionally inept at moving on from the past. Dulsey, who is smart, tough, hilarious, & unwilling to change the way Evans learn their fate or role... I guess all families have issues.
I will say, the action doesn't happen til the last chapter & Luna actually created the whole mess because her family refused to tell her anything her whole life.
Hopefully, the series adapts & learns to move forward differently. Although, with the amount of gore the Stregori created, I don't know how this Sleepy town will remain unknown.
