The author was able to encapsulate the white, middle class Southern culture in this book. From things mentioned, social structures and how women sometimes interact with each other. 

The book had some gruesome horror that I wasn’t expecting, but it was manageable. 

By the end of the book I was hoping for more information. I wanted the story to keep going and get good vindication. I wanted a huge triumph, but it definitely didn’t happen that way.

Also the way the vampire feeds and how the victims feel bliss is just weird and seemed a little unnecessary.
