The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires

4.5.

Knocked down for dragging on in the beginning/parts of the middle. Also frustrating at times, and the men-folk were really terrible to get through. As were the kids for that matter...but, they're kids so I can have a bit more lenience. A horror story that made some very good points regarding sexism, classism, and racism. Set in the 90's but still relevant to day. I highlighted A LOT in the last 1/3 of this story.

Regarding why choose to move to the South?: “You'll take anyone at face value as long as he's white and has money.”

Lots of good material for discussion here. The characters are not always meant to be made as characters to root for, but this was thought provoking and the ending was as satisfying as it could be given the circumstances.

I stand by my convictions when starting this book that Carter is indeed trash.

ETA: this book was very gory so be prepared for that if you proceed.
