this book was pretty slow for the first 30%, but after it got really good!
it was hard to put down, kept me wanting more, and was the (more lighthearted, circumstantially) that i needed before fall time!
would highly recommend reading this book - and pushing through the first 30% - but be sure to look at content warnings before!

Had me guessing the whole time. I will day, I thought there’d be more vampire slaying … like I figured these women pretended to do bookclub but really fight vampires or something🤣
In the end this was a great book about relationships friendships and classism. I wish the women would have been more cohesive throughout the book. I was questioning everyone and everything (which was probably the point) and thoroughly enjoyed all the mystery and intrigue.
Highly recommend if you like high stakes fast paced horror stories with paranormal elements and morally grey characters that make you want to throw your book.
Enjoy 🍑🧛♂️
