This is a cozy horror set in a small Texas town in the late 1990s. It gives me Practical Magic vibes, with three generations of Evans women working together to fight Strigoi–monsters that are part zombie, part vampire, and completely terrifying–while also protecting the youngest Evans, 15-year-old Luna, from the monsters and from the secrets about her heritage. This is a fast, gruesome, entertaining read, and I was delighted to see it is the first of a series!
Graphic: Body horror, Violence, and Murder
