The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires

I don't know how to rate this book because I can't say I really “enjoyed” reading this book but it did keep me captivated and turning the pages. There's something to be said with how terrifying danger can be when it moves quietly underneath the fog of suburban mundanity.

Mr. Hendrix wrote a truly masterful thriller mystery - highlighting how important it is to believe people and protect not just your own without making this book feel like a moral parable.

My biggest gripe with this book is that I felt none of the men received any consequences. All of the husbands were complicit to an extent - choosing to not believe their wives and paint them as crazy. Choosing instead to stay in the false safety of the brotherhood of white affluency. Sure they lost money but its that really the comeuppance they deserved?

Mrs. Greene was the true protagonist and hero of this story. Without her I don't think there would be a story to tell. She was my favorite character of all the women.

Overall I think I'd rate this 3.5 stars.
