“Think of us what you will, she thought, we made mistakes, and probably scarred our children for life, and we froze sandwiches, and forgot carpool, and got divorced. But when the time came, we went the distance.
This book took me longer to read than I thought it would. I had to take a lot of breaks between reading, but it was well worth it in the end.
The woman characters were wonderful and I loved how they were all middle aged. The men absolutely sucked, and I hated all their husbands.
Overall, it was an enjoyable read about southern woman killing a vampire!
