The Afterlife of the Party by Marlene Perez
4.0
A party, a drumstick, and an executioner ohh my Tansy has had one heck of a few days. What starts as Sky dragging her to see the guy she likes and his band play turns into... well you'll just have to read the book.
I love a good campy vampire book, the more snark the better and this one has it in spades. With zingy one-liners aplenty, this is a unique take on both the vampire and witch genres and I enjoyed every page of it.
Characters you either love, hate, or want to leave stranded in the desert, young love, a friendship that can overcome anything, and the love of family both biological and found gives us a well-rounded group that you can't help but root for.
While there were some utterly heartbreaking moments, there was that whole bat thing, and some of the characters may get on your nerves a tad bit it all goes into the overall experience of the story and in my opinion, we needed all of the ups and downs to get to where we were at the end.
I can't wait to start the second book and see what trouble Tansy, Sky, Vaughn, and everyone involved in this battle of good versus evil can get themselves into next.
