The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix
4.0
After this I'm reading about a woman eating men for fun cause I need the catharsis.
I have one major gripe with it:
The sexual assault in this book on Slick did not work for me. It seemed senseless from a monster that to this point used cunning and guile to stay alive for centuries. And then pregnant too ofc *EYEROLL*
I get the intent but why use the biggest cliché to make women feel powerless. Plenty of other ways to do it.
Best Friend’s Exorcism didn’t use this ‘trope’ and it’s a better book for it. I’ll check the content warnings of the author’s other works in the future cause they just don’t handle it well.
Biiig criticism but I really liked the book overall. Properly grossed out.
