The Reformed Vampire Support Group

Hey guys. Jeanette here. Before I delve into this book, let me explain a little more about how things work here.

If a book was published by a small press or self published, we'll include all the info-whatsits, the isbn, a buy link, etc. If it was by a large press and we just read it for shits and giggles, we're not doing all that crap.

The second thing I should explain is I'm totally baked and I was baked throughout my reading of Catherine Jinks's The Reformed Vampire Support Group.

Basically, this book is about a bunch of vampires who have renounced their bloodsucking ways and try to live in peace with humans--but you won't find any sparkling shirtless guys here. Jinks's vampires are dead and gross, sick all the time, and uber depressing. I almost put the book down because the narrator was so depressing in the beginning. I mean, how interesting can it be to read about a bunch of vampires complaining to each other in a Tuesday night support group?

Things picked up, though, after one of the group is murdered by a slayer. That kick-starts a chain-reaction of chases, fight scenes, werewolf dog fights, violent fangings, and vampire mischeif. There are so many plot twists and I don't want to spoil them all, but...yeah.

If you like high-action things and you're a kid or teenager and you don't mind a lack of romance and you have a large attention span and you hate Twilight, this is the book for you.

...That's really all I feel I can type right now.
