pizzaghost 's review for:

Bless Your Heart by Lindy Ryan
5.0

This book was full of surprises - partly because the title and cover do not convey the contents. I thought this would be about a family of vampires, but it's basically the opposite.

Thankfully, I love a quirky horror story with a cast of strong, vibrant women who are willing to do whatever it takes to handle a sticky situation.

This book is a lot more gory and intense than I anticipated. Too much puking for my taste, although given what the strigoi did to all those people, it's justified. Yick!

Another unexpected twist was that this book came with a big dose of Y2K nostalgia. Why does it take place in 1999? I don't entirely know, but as someone who entered their goth teen years at the turn of the millennium, this scratched a very particular itch.

For me, this super fast read was an absolute joy. Part 2?

Thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for providing a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
