With Teeth by Brian Keene
4.0

Firstly I love the cover.
The start of the book was very entertaining and funny and I loved how it tied in with the end.
The characters had depth and a good detailed build up for a novella.
The story had excellent pace and was enjoyable all the way through.
My only small issue was that the introduction built up the expectation that this would be a very different take on a vampire story but in honestly it was very much the same as the old vampire tales with the beasts having the same strengths and weaknesses etc.
This did not trouble me too much as I love a classic run of the mill vampire tale.
I enjoyed the Afterword and realised I need to dig deeper into the authors previous works. He seems like an author I can get on board with as I am a sucker for a multiverse.
