Mina and the Undead by Amy McCaw

4.0

This book nicely compiled all of my favourite things, vampires, horror and mystery.

New Orleans has a special place in my heart, and this book made me want to go back so badly. It also felt very nostalgic as it’s set in the nineties.

The book follows Mina a 17 year old girl who has gone to visit her sister who has moved to New Orleans. Murders start happening and they all have a link to an old legend from New Orleans.

The book had me hooked, I really loved the relationships between the characters, they felt very real. I could also vividly picture what the characters looked like in my mind, which I don’t always get. The mystery also has me hooked and I needed to know who was doing it, was it actually a copy cat? Or a vampire?

The ending did fall a little flat for me, but it was still enjoyable and tied up all the loose ends. I definitely think this is one of my favourite vampire books.
