First and foremost. I actually did not learn whatsoever how to slay vampires. If anything, I've realised that it would drive a woman absolutely mad to convince her friends and family that their neighbour is a serial killer.
Because that was what this was. Endlessly frustrating to read Patricia bending backwards and falling into depression because nobody would believe her.
Regardless, this was definitely a page turner. I prefer the audiobook over the book itself. Bahni Turpin did an amazing job reading it and kept me engaged and focused on the story while I was doing my menial tasks.
I consider this less of a guide and more of a desperate housewife being gaslit and how she dealt with it. Oh and the slaying of the vampire was kind of anticlimactic.
Still, had a lot of fun listening! It's a solid 4 from me.
