Mr Hendrix, I'm so sorry it's taken me this long to read!
I'm so glad my book club picked this one. It's my bestie's favorite, and I've been putting it off because I was nervous I wouldn't like it. I'm happy to say I loved it!
What an intense book that deals with class, race, fear, the South, and gender while being a story about a book club killing a vampire! This book handled these topics so well and still gave so many characters human sympathy to make them full-fledged humans.
My favorite of the MCs was absolutely Slick, so I wasso sad about her ending , but I thought it was still so well-written and well-done.
So many topics of the 1990s are touched on her casually, super-predators, AIDS, etc, and I think it really made the book settled into its time and reminded us how and why this community was behaving this way... again in a book about A VAMPIRE!
Mr. Hendrix gets the pass to write from a woman's perspective... I'm allowing it!
