it was amazing
bookshelves: audio-books, historical-fiction, southern, favourites, audible

This book was getting so much hype so I decided to check it out. It did not seem to be my regular type of reading material but the title intrigued me a lot and I listened to the Audio. What a magnificent surprise! There is so much packed into this little book and the audio was amazing! The narrator was exceptional and I loved her different voices for the characters and how she delivered the story. I was mesmerized! At times this was a humorous book with cute little Southern idioms and then it totally went gothic and serious. Grady Hendrix sure wrote an intriguing tale! I was very excited to hear that the rights have been acquired by Amazon for a film adaptation. Cannot wait to see how these unique characters will come to life on screen!

Christine Tina, what a super review! Like you, I find the title very intriguing. Vampires are on my deal breaker list, but if I were to take a leap, this would be the book. It also sounds like audio is definitely the way to go!! Thanks!

Thank-you Christine! Yes, I'd say audio is the way to go with this one if it's not your normal genre. Happy reading or listening!! 🤩🎧

I never do audio, but looks like that would be the way to go with this one!
