Story
Lynnette Tarkington is a real-life final girl who survived a massacre. For more than a decade, she’s been meeting with five other final girls and their therapist in a support group for those who survived the unthinkable, working to put their lives back together. Then one woman misses a meeting, and their worst fears are realized - someone knows about the group and is determined to rip their lives apart again, piece by piece.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Story
Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a hit-and-run accident when he was 10, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of himself—and his dad. Then, when Charlie is 17, he meets a dog named Radar and his aging master, Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the backyard. Sometimes strange sounds emerge from it.

Story
On The Power of Vulnerability, Dr. Brown offers an invitation and a promise - that when we dare to drop the armor that protects us from feeling vulnerable, we open ourselves to the experiences that bring purpose and meaning to our lives. Here she dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and reveals that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage.

Publisher's Summary
Fried Green Tomatoes and Steel Magnolias meet Dracula in this Southern-flavored supernatural thriller set in the '90s about a women's book club that must protect its suburban community from a mysterious and handsome stranger who turns out to be a real monster.
Patricia Campbell's life has never felt smaller. Her ambitious husband is too busy to give her a goodbye kiss in the morning, her kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she's always a step behind on thank-you notes and her endless list of chores. The one thing she has to look forward to is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime and paperback fiction. At these meetings they're as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are marriage, motherhood, and neighborhood gossip.
This predictable pattern is upended when Patricia meets James Harris, a handsome stranger who moves into the neighborhood to take care of his elderly aunt and ends up joining the book club. James is sensitive and well-read, and he makes Patricia feel things she hasn't felt in 20 years. But there's something off about him. He doesn't have a bank account, he doesn't like going out during the day, and Patricia's mother-in-law insists that she knew him when she was a girl, an impossibility.
When local children go missing, Patricia and the book club members start to suspect James is more of a Bundy than a Beatnik, but no one outside of the book club believes them. Have they read too many true crime books, or have they invited a real monster into their homes?

This was honestly the world's worst book.
It really dragged on and on. I was excited about the idea of a vampire being among southern women but it was just deeply anti feminist and full of rape and victim blaming and not empowering at all. In the end, the ladies got their revenge but it totally was weak and uneventful and very gory but... Oddly uninteresting.
The narrator was good but talked really slowly.
I'm so annoyed that this book exists. Please burn all physical copies and delete all files of it.
Thanks.

One sided, boring characters
One sided characters that conform to all gender stereotypes. I could not finish this book as it dripped of sexist and racist stereotypes. Do not recommend.

This was absolutely amazing. The narration was great, and the story was captivating. It was like Desperate Housewives meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I found myself laughing out loud and screaming in shock at]long the way.

Pleasantly surprised!
Vampire novels aren’t generally my thing but I figured I’d give it a listen since it was the monthly free book and I ended up LOVING it! Not at all the silly vampire fiction I was expecting, loved the characters, movingly feminist, and excellent performance. Highly recommend!

Not my cup of tea
I got 1/4 of the way through this and just had to stop. The author's writing skill is good (witty, keeps your attention, well edited) and the narrator excellent, but the content just turned me off; much too gory and the detail of horrific injuries and the color of injured parts, just ugggghhhhh. The accurate minutiae of living with someone with Alzheimers (down to details like food in her water glass, spit dribbling, etc) was bleak and depressing. And I draw the line at dogs being hurt, so upon reaching that point I realized this story is just making me more disgusted than entertained so I threw in the towel.

Author’s friends must be giving 5 stars
This book is just plain bad. I don’t know how it’s gotten such high marks - other than the author’s friends must’ve reviewed it - because it’s really terrible. First off, it DRAGS and DRAGS on in the middle where all of a sudden you’re listening to “Stepford Wives” - southern women being told what to do by their husbands and what do you know, just going along with it! But this isn’t the 70’s it’s the 90’s and apparently no one would EVER think to say “No” to their husband in the 90’s, right? Oh and then the main character’s husband writes his wife a script for Prozac (professionally not allowed by the way) ...again, she just going along with it instead of standing up to him...and she just zones out of her life while the story turns into a bad Stephen King novel of rape, grown naked men feeding on young naked children and it gets to the point where you’re asking yourself “Why am I still listening to this?!” I had to quit. I was trying to make it to the end to see if this book had any redeeming qualities or story turn but it simply does NOT. Please save yourself the credit, it’s not worth it. Audible Original - did anyone at Audible actually listen to or read this book before putting it on here?! Total garbage.

Disappointing
I wanted to like this book. Unfortunately, it's one of those stories that relies on the main character behaving stupidly, her husband treating her like she's a 5 year old, everyone forgetting very traumatic events and just moving on in order to advance. The reader can suspend disbelief to an extent. This is too much. It kicks you right out of the story.

Started Out Great...
I am from Alabama, so I liked hearing the interesting storyline set in the South. At first the narrator was lovely, then she started getting on my nerves. I enjoyed the story to a point, but by the time it was over, it was just okay. Not my favorite I have read this year. I would recommend it to fans of this genre, but it was just not all that amazing to me.

More juvenile than I thought it’d be...
A lot of the story is pending on Patrica acting and thinking like a 5 year old. It’s a bit excessive... I was really excited about this, but the readers performance is the only reason I held on. They touch on vampire rape as well? Love the reader, didn’t care for the story line. Really tried to push through it but it didn’t get much better. Better ready for maybe a 17 year old.

Big fan of Grady, but this one misses the mark
I have been a fan of Grady since Horrorstor and was really looking forward to this one, but it's just not very good.
I also liked We Sold Our Souls and My Best Friend's Exorcism.
First, the narrator is great. I loved her style.
The book though. Wow. Where do I start?
1. The title - misleading. The book is about one vampire and the Southern Book Club doesn't band together to fight him until 85% of the book is finished. it's not a witty book about southern women fighting vampires at all.
2. The characters - frustrating. They spend most of the book actively trying to make the story stop moving forward. It was like they wanted their lives to be normal so much that they brought me into their world. I am reading a book. Take me somewhere, don't fight me as I want things to develop.
The protagonist is implausibly dumb and the antagonist is not creepy at all, he's just weird and also kind of stupid. You think he's possibly a master manipulator genius, but he's really just a simpleton freak.
3. The story - nothing. Nothing happens. It's a fairly long book with no action until the end. It also has a time jump that makes some sense, but also leaves a huge hole. it takes you completely out of the story.
Overall, this one was a mess. I hope his next one is better

So So
I enjoyed the beginning of this book. I got a kick out of seeing how many books their book club read that I had read. And some of the interactions of the book club ladies was humorous. However, after that it turned a bit dark for me. This is more in line with Stephen King that Kristen Painter. So if you like the dark scary books you may enjoy this but it's not for me.

ayant rédigé un mémoire sur la littérature vampirique, je suis très étonnée du traitement de ce roman. c'est très original et prenant. je recommande.
