Miranda Reads's Reviews > The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires

Patricia Campbell remembers what life was like before she gave into motherhood - she was an amazing nurse and strong-willed.

But marriage changed all that. She's now a stay-at-home mom and with the way her husband treats her...it is a sobering thought, the life that's ahead of her.

But at least she has book club.

Every meeting they go over the latest true-crime or grisly detective book. It is the one time that Patricia feels like herself.

And then...HE moved in. The new neighbor.

At first it was the little things - he misplaced his ID and legal documents. He has a severe sun allergy.

But then those little things snowballed - children from the next town over are being taken.

And Patricia begins to wonder...what if it was all true? What if that "nice" neighbor is a monster?

And what could she possibly do against that in a world full of smartphones and science?

OMG.

So, I picked this one up because I saw it on the GRs Nominee list...oh my gosh. It was SOOOO good. WORTH. IT.

I LOVED the way this book was set up - the girls in the book club, the weirdness of the neighbor- it all worked so well.

I was so thrown by the way the plot went too. I never knew what was going to happen next and I was LIVING ,for that.

About halfway through, I had to put the book down because I was SO stressed by it. Also - that ending. Perfection. Sheer perfection!
