Very entertaining. I couldn’t put it down!

I wish I could unread this. I get that this book is horror, and I’ve read Stephen King and Dean Koontz. But this. This set off every single trigger I have. I wanted was a hilarious romp where Towanda finds and kills vampires, like if Buffy went to the country club. What I got was a lot of weak women who acted far too late, in my opinion. TW: kidnapping, assault, rape, murder, gaslighting.

A spooky southern delight. I loved the humor, the accuracy of 90s housewife life, and the shocking horror that came out of nowhere. Also, if you like true crime- the cases interwoven with the plot will make you love it even more!

Loved it. I loved this book! Couldn’t put it down!

Sooo good. This book actually got me back into reading books after years. It was really entertaining!

I didn’t want the story to end.. I’m familar with author Grady Hendrix because I read his novels The Final Girl’s Support Group and How to Sell A Haunted House. I truly enjoy reading his novels. The Southern Book Club’s Guide To Slaying Vampire is not the story that I expected it to be. It is a more complicated story than I imagine. It starts as the story of a housewife named Patricia Campbell who is annoyed that her husband Carter volunteered one summer to take care of his ailing elderly mom. He knew good and well that he was not going to do it. She would. One evening while taking out the trash she’s bitten and attacked by a neighbor. Through that experience she meets a man named James Harris who claims that he is the neighbor’s nephew. Patricia has a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach that he is not who he seems to be. I’ve read quite a few tales about vampires. I think this one is unique. Initially, I assumed that this story would be similar to a Buffy the vampire scenario with Patricia joining her fellow book club members. They would take on vampires and such. Well, that situation happens but the circumstances are much different than I imagined and more sinister. I give this book four stars out of five . The writing was familar to me because I’m a fan of the author. The pacing was medium. There are a few unsettling scenes of gore , drug references and sexual assault. I was satisfied with the ending and didn’t want to say good bye to Patricia or the rest of the main characters. Even the antagonist was interesting.

Interesting Read. I read this around Halloween. I found it a unique take on the vampire genre. I found myself frustrated with the main character and how she related to her husband and children at times (but I don’t want to give too much away). Overall I liked it.

Quick thriller!. Silly & fun horror novel! Read it at the beach and it was a perfect read!

Extremely disappointed. This book had a great premise, great story, great plot UP UNTIL AFTER THE CLIMAX. After the climax, this book read like the author’s thinly veiled fetish. Sick, twisted, and disgusting. There really isn’t anything to say good about the end. Pretty sure the main villian is a self insert. My god, very disgusting.

Slow start, but quick read. The start was slow for me, but once I got to the “meat”, I couldn’t put it down. I really loved Patricia, Mrs. Green, and the other ladies. A true depiction of how Southern hospitality can bite you in the butt.

Pure Enjoyment. LOVED this book. Purely enjoyed every single minute spent with it.

Tim Burton Meets House wife. This book was surprisingly good! There were times I really felt like it dragged, but I’m glad I stuck with it and held on until the end. I read it in about two days. I really imagine a motion picture of this being a Tim burton type. There were instances in the book that I should’ve been shocked, but I laughed instead. I felt like the author did an excellent job creating the characters, but I feel like the title is a little misleading. There is a book club, but it doesn’t really focus on these people, and when I was reading, I was expecting the gossip circles that met every week and were super nosy. You get that somewhat, but it wasn’t as developed as I had expected it to be. I was also a little disappointed In the solution. He built up this villain so well, and the demise wasn’t as exciting as I expected it to be. I don’t want to say too much because I don’t want to spoil the book. These are slightly nit picky things, but All in all, I recommend it. You won’t be able to put this down!

Woman-hating Book. If you think that all women are weak and foolish, this book is for you. All six of the main female characters are portrayed as living meaningless, shallow lives with no ability to think or do for themselves. Their decisions are so incredibly nonsensical, the reader is left wondering if the author has ever met or spoken to an actual woman. I read this book only because it was the only reading material I had on a long airplane trip. Pass this one up if you don’t want to support misogynistic writing that demeans women.

Slow start but MAN what an ending!!!. I had a hard time getting into this book at first… but once I was in the meat of it.. captivating. Could not put it down!! You’ll hang on every word. Not for the faint of heart. Definitely descriptive and grotesque, but you feel as if you’re in it with the characters!
