I was really excited to read The Southern Book Club’s Guide To Slaying Vampires because it seemed like a really interesting book and who wouldn’t like a book about book clubs or vampires? It was filled with nineteen eighties housewives, a new mysterious and intriguing man in town, and a book club determined to solve a mystery. Overall, I was quite disappointed and wished it could have been better.
The Souther Book Club’s Guide To Slaying Vampires started out really fun and it had a good story. It showed how the housewives lived, how the book club came to be about and how it ran. The characters were all fun and different which made the story interesting because one person could change or influence a situation. In the beginning, the mystery was intriguing and you were left with a lot of questions and speculation. As the story developed, it got really slow and I felt it strayed from the story. It lacked content and I really wasn’t sure where things were going. It didn’t have any suspense that I was looking for which left me confused on how this book was even about slaying vampires. When the story finally picked up, it got kinda weird and I really was lost on how it all connected.
I gave this book a two and a half star because I really liked the first half of the book and if it would have stayed that way it would be a much higher rating. It wasn’t the worst book, but the ending really sabotaged the rest of the book. While this book wasn’t the worst of the worst, I haven’t given a book this low of a rating before so I think I’m feeling quite let down on how much I didn’t like this book. It’s definitely not a book I would recommend.
