For me to say that I enjoyed a book that could be classified as horror takes a lot, but I did. Horror and me don’t get along at all. I’m always the person who covers their eyes or hides their face deep in something. And I thought the same would be for this book. I started it as an auidobook and then when I needed to return it, I remembered I had a copy of the book in my TBR pile and finished it that way.

If you ever wanted an idea of what happens in your stereotypical Southern towns this book is your answer. Set in the early 1990s, the typical housewife was still being lived, until James Harris showed up and Patricia, the housewife who wants to be more than a housewife, gets suspicious. I will admit that there were even times when I was reading the book that I thought that Patricia was a bit crazy, until she James with the Destiny Taylor. Then I knew that her suspicions were true.

Even after that people still didn’t believe her and there was a three year gap in the book where life went back to normal and that shocked me. I was glad thought that Patricia got the housewives together to remove the resident vampire from their quiet suburban town.

I will probably end up reading another Grady Hendrix book, just because of how well this one sucked me in (no pun intended) and it was as scary as I thought it might be. There were a few scenes where I did cringe, but I made it through.
