Bless Your Heart by Lindy Ryan
3.0

Trouble has come to southeast Texas that seems similar to “that Godawful Mess” of 15 years ago. The Evans women who run the only funeral parlor in town have noticed a few more undead (called strigoi which seems to be a cross between a vampire and zombie).

People are going missing and others rising and the Evans women (Ducey, Lenore, Grace, and Luna) have to deal with it (hmm, chosen ones, perhaps). All happening because of 15 years ago. Funny. Like Designing Women melded with Stephen King.

Fifteen years ago Grace becomes enthralled with Samael who was a master strigoi and bears his child, Luna. He was killed by Jimmy, Lenore’s husband, who was killed by Samael. Luna sets off the chain by feeding slowly on her boyfriend, Andy (not Crane). Ducey dies in the fight as does Grace when protecting Luna.
