Ladies loving ladies and sucking blood in 1872.

Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu

May 26, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 11/30 This sure was something, I tell you what. Before I get to the actual review, I do want to say that I am specifically referring to the version edited by Carmen Maria Machado, with an introduction and footnotes by her. Both things fundamentally changed the experience of reading this. I am still boggled in the mind that this is a book about lesbian vampires and their young female victims being seduced, and it was written in […]

Put your SPF 5000 on and hit the beach

Vampire Vacation by Laura Lavoie

May 13, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Okay, I admit, Vampire Vacation is a little cheesy. But it is a fun and adorable cheesy! The idea of “trying something new” has been done before, but the twist is that this time Fang (a young, sassy vampire boy) wants his parents to try something new. Which is, not to take the same old family trip to Transylvania (even though the brochure promises it never gets old, Fang disagrees). Even with the several false starts in the attempts by Fang in Laura Lavoie’s picture […]

Vir2ous if O4ly Long

NOS4A2 by Joe Hill

May 1, 2022 by Zirza Leave a Comment

It’s the mid eighties, the land of Stranger Things nostalgia, and eight year old Victoria ‘Vic’ McQueen (aka The Brat) has just discovered something interesting: if she hops on her bike and cycles through to a certain spot in the woods by the river, a magic bridge will appear. Whenever something has been lost all Vic has to do is cross the bridge and she will end up where the lost object is. But something else is lost as well: across the country, young children […]

The Other Half of the Grave

“Weakness was fleeting. Vengeance was forever.”

The Other Side of the Grave by Jeaniene Frost

April 26, 2022 by llamareadsbooks 2 Comments

I inhaled the Night Huntress series back in the summer of 2017, working my way through the seven books of the initial series as well as a bunch of spin-offs. I was absolutely entranced by the world Jeaniene Frost created and it quickly became one of my favorite paranormal romance stories. One of the things I really liked about the books was that (for the most part) the stories are told solely from the heroine’s first-person point of view. But of course I (and pretty […]

My dad isn’t a vampire but my mom was (almost) a lumberjack

Lumberjackula by Mat Heagerty

February 23, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

We know the story presented in Lumberjackula by Mat Heagerty: a child wants to please his parents by doing what they want him to do; however, he does not want to do exactly what either wants for him as neither choice is the right fit for him. He has a need, a need to DANCE! But when your mother is a lumberjack and your father a vampire, you must decide which side you are on. Or do you? Of course, there are lies (Jack tells […]

Steel Magnolias but with a Vampire

The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix

February 9, 2022 by MG Dietzel Leave a Comment

Strong southern women are no joke. But neither is the patriarchy and racism. The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix will give you goosebumps and make you angry at racial injustice and stupid white men at the same time. Set in the 90s in South Caroline, each chapter title is a reference to a movie or true crime book from the last 50 years, so you will definitely come out of this book with some ideas for what to read or […]
