The Casquette Girls

I liked the idea of the coven versus the vampires, the way the characters wrestle with having survived a natural disaster is really well handled, and you can feel the love for New Orleans flowing from this book, but in the end, it just didn't entirely work for me.

I was expecting more of a girl-group sort of book from the blurb, and this definitely isn't that. The love triangle is incredibly stupid (it's never really clear what Adele sees in either dude aside from how hot they are), most of the characters are pretty thinly drawn, the phonetically written accents verge on racist parody at points... Also, it really felt like too much of the book was build-up. Once things went nuts a lot happened but there were some pretty long periods of time where nothing really happened or previous points were repeated.
