panI read this series as a teenager and remembered that this was my least favorite. Holds true. Lestat is impossible. His lack of impulse control is ridiculous and not at all charming. The rape scene of his first foray into sex as a human again was awful. And then he basically did the vampire version of that at the end by making David Talbot a vampire without consent. His remorse after each was laughable. Completely led by his emotions.

pickThis was a fun collection of short story adventures featuring the very prosaic and conflict shy Fred the vampire. Each story builds off the previous but are also self contained adventures. I e heard complaints that the fix up nature of the book leads to too much repetition but it wasn‘t enough to bother me.
Two more just came in from my latest batch of preorders!
I really don‘t need to add more books to my already crazy TBR but I saw this in the #LFL and couldn‘t resist Rainbow Rowell. I haven‘t read the first book this is sequel to though, so that‘ll have to come first.🫣 I loved Fangirl so much and these fanfic characters were in the background, correct?

so-soA boy is found with his throat ripped out,the blood drained from his body. It's not the first such killing,and the town knows who to blame: the vampire colony in the mountains.
pick4/5
This was an incredibly well written, incredibly disturbing historical horror novel. Told through journal Arthur Beaucarne wrote in 1912 that was found and transcribed by his great great granddaughter in 2012. Arthur records a series of interviews with Good Stab who describes his transformation into a vampire.
The old fashioned language made it a little difficult to get into the early chapters, but the story pulled me in.
