Synopsis: Being a vampire is far from glamorous...but it can be pretty punk rock.
Everything you've heard about vampires is a lie. They can't fly. No murders allowed (the community hates that). And turning into a bat? Completely ridiculous. In fact, vampire life is really just a lot of blood bags and night jobs. For Louise Chao, it's also lonely, since she swore off family ages ago.
At least she's gone to decades of punk rock shows. And if she can join a band of her own (while keeping her...situation under wraps), maybe she'll finally feel like she belongs, too.
Then a long-lost teenage relative shows up at her door. Whether it's Ian's love of music or his bad attitude, for the first time in ages, Louise feels a connection.
But as Ian uncovers Louise's true identity, things get dangerous--especially when he asks her for the ultimate favor. One that goes beyond just family...one that might just change everything vampires know about life and death forever. (Synopsis from Goodreads)
My Thoughts: I'm always a sucker for vampire books. Yes, I made what could be considered a pun. Vampire Weekend is taking a different track when it comes to our undead gang. This vampire is punk! She also has a night job because she has to make money somehow.
I really enjoyed this one. I had a lot of fun reading it. I liked exploring this vampire world.
Louise was great to follow. I had a good time with this one.
If you like vampire books, definitely check this one out and give it a read.
