The Afterlife of the Party by Marlene Perez
3.0
This was a quirky, fast-paced book about a girl named Tansy who goes to a party and is turned into a vampire without her consent. Tansy, along with another friend Vaughn, try to save their best friend, Skyler, from the vampire "bleeders" groupies for The Bleeders band through the entirety of the book. But what they find is more than they would ever bargain for. Everyone needs friends like Tansy and Vaughn. They are both loyal and do everything in their power to save Skyler.
I thought this book was a little off at some points and jumped around quite frequently. Some of the fight and action scenes were choppy as well. But with that being said, though this book had a lot of humor and sarcasm running throughout, it also touched base on some important topics about consent and human trafficking. As the reader, you were able to see the questionable actions the characters were taking under the guidance and trickery of the guys of the band.
I think this book holds important conversations in a lighter way since this book is based on vampires and witches. It's a book that speaks on the dangers of meeting people you don't know and then getting caught up in a web of schemes that most teenagers wouldn't see coming.
