GUT-WRENCHINGLY GOOD. victoria’s quest to save her father by finding a vampire in new orleans was something i enjoyed watching, from start to finish. definitely shed more than a few tears at the end

Cancer is so merciless that even the cruelest of vampires can’t compete.
I'm always attracted to books about vampires but this time the focus of the book is the need of the protagonist to find a solution to her father's terminal illness. Now he has only a month left to live and this is why Victoria will search for vampires in New Orleans. To make him immortal.
Her ex best friend and neighbor will be with her on the trip. The two had quarreled but the affection is still very strong despite the misunderstandings.
Unfortunately the writing is very slow and with little dialogue. It never seems to get the action or the climax where the romantic part will finally be. I felt like I was chasing something that kept eluding me. I couldn't empathize with the protagonist who chases dumb ideas without common sense throughout the book. The secondary characters have not been deepened but always left on the sidelines of the story.

I don’t normally write book reviews but I feel like this one deserves one.
This book is about finding joy even in the darkest of times. It’s about experiencing life even when all you want to do is hide under the covers. It’s about adventure, love, grief and loss. The emotions that run throughout this book are portrayed so beautifully. Everything feels so real and genuine.
I’m a huge fan of vampire movies. So the fact that this book quoted all the best vampire movies and shows was so exciting. It inspired me to watch ‘The Lost Boys’ again which is such a good movie. (Highly recommend).
If you’re looking for a short, wholesome read that will engage all of your emotions.. I highly encourage you to read this book!
