The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires

This book was super entertaining and engulfing, and did a fantastic job making social commentary that was empathetic and not heavy-handed. I thought it did a great job painting a picture of the ways white women both experience oppression and enact it upon Black people. The plot was enthralling and it was a great supernatural thriller on top of the work delving into privilege and injustice.

As a note, from the title and cover I expected it to be a lot lighter than it was - there were many heavy and devastating scenes and issues. It's not just a quick and easy, cheeky thriller. It's about whiteness and racial oppression, as well as gaslighting and controlling spouses. CN for rape and domestic abuse.
