Review of "The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires" on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Honestly, I was hesitant to pick up a book about stay at home moms. The slaying Dracula bit got me in, and i'm glad it did. This was a wild ride and one of my new favorites.
The story was tense, definitely a nail-biter. The horror was well executed; Hendrix vividly describes gore in a way that isn't played out. Nothing felt edgy or grimdark, the writing kept everything uneasy but believable.
Reviewers are divided on the characters, but I liked them. Maybe not as people that I want to hang out with, but realistic characters - women i've met growing up in Appalachia. Throwing them into such an insane situation was a phenomenal idea and added a lot of depth.
Sorry if my review is terse, i'm still a bit shook from the read!
